Night thoughts - 18. - because why not

(can't sleep...was having mini-nightmares)

Awake at hours when rest is most needed

I find a shadow in mind, with something again pleaded&nbsp;

To take my shadows hand, & walk about the days with no light&nbsp;

Enjoying the times since past, walking clear with eyes closed, somehow seeing with no sight, & still knowing wrong from right

It whispers echoes of things not said, & never shares something already spoken

It seems to play music yet to be, on an empty record player, a long time ago broken

It shares pieces of a full story, only offering less each time we spend the day-night together

Only speaking when it's seeking another chance at forever

I know not when it will visit, among the memories still adrift in the sea of imaginational possibility&nbsp;

I only know, it will go, again, as a friend, to share & send, more unquestionable tranquility&nbsp;
