Truth

Just to Feel Alive Again

I like the time of day,

When the day decides to give way;

When the toads hop about

And the fireflies dance through the air.

I like it when dusk falls,

And the world seems so magical;

When the trees sway to an invisible wind,

When you’re struck with the nostalgia of the ‘way back when’.

Yes, way back when,

When the world was through a different lens.

But the world is still the same,

It’s just that I’ve grown

And I’ve changed.

So where to go now?

Now that I’ve found that I must go somewhere.

Should I go off into that dusk?

Or should I wait for the light of day?

I do not know what my heart tells me,

It’s so numb at times.

But I do know that it likes to race

When I look into the night.

So I’ll go;

I’ll set off into the time

When crickets chirp and fairies flit

And I feel alive again.
