the sun is slowly lowered
the sky is growing dark
adrenaline from today is wearing out
the world is winding down
for yet another night
I’m watching,
feeling and seeing the light dissipate itself again.
it’s happening and it’s real and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
my pump is fading,
my excitement is suddenly dulled.
raise my small eyes into the majestic sky
I’m catching sight of the glittering stars, sprinkled generously across the black sky, once a brilliant blue
a tear escapes my eye,
and I continue on into the night
