It was long past the hour
when monsters would rise…
Far beyond stroke of midnight
when moon lit the skies.

Whether early or late
I would not dare to say…
Just a moment to me
when the world fell away.

I was one with the shadows
that played cross my bed…
Fascinated by visions
that spilled through my head.

Finding solace is subtle
it comes when it will…
All I know is the feeling
of it lingers still.

When I woke just a whisper
of wind broke the silence…
To chase away nightmares
that shook me with violence.

All my worries seemed empty
the answer sublime…
Found the insight was here
inside me all this time.

Just a pause in the motion
that tangles the mind…
For when clarity strikes
it’s a true gift to find.
