midnight hour

there is something wonderful and haunting about dim lights and darkness. the hum of the refrigerator and the otherwise silence of a sleeping house.
i am awake.
unwinding
questions, elusive answers
wait, beautiful humility
adequate, or one-of-a-kind?
time, miles and miles
affection, unimaginable
hidden, thoughts that haunt
to ponder, the cost of a stand
joy, secret dreams
tomorrow, changing lives
love, such a mystery
rest, in old-school carpenter arms
peace, as you give

around and around
