A Night Walk


Wobbling across the land

becoming one with the night

with a lantern to guide me

the light is quite bright


Floating across the cosmos

appears to be an excess of debris

decrypting messages from the stars

epic stories meant for me


The river rages near me

as if inviting a fight

animals screech in the darkness

sounds of fright


Walking on

becoming one with wind

sending light into the darkness

spirit counts it as a win


Now on the ground

looking for a place to sleep

counting the stars in heaven

life is sweet

  1. LIked this, except for the “wobbling” bit at the beginning. Makes you sound decrepit. Perhaps “embracing” or a similar thought would better portray the spirit of your night’s experience. All in all, your “journey” as expressed in your poetry is an inspiring one.
