We do not know what tomorrow brings. Our trust is put wherever we see fit to put it. Tonight I am not trusting my thoughts or dreams.

there is an emptiness
in me tonight

it feels like a hole
in the world

a place where nothing resides
somewhere you cannot see.

sleep will capture these thoughts
these feelings of loneliness

night erases what I cannot say
taking away my despair

I cry out for you to hear me
if only in my dreams.

the dreams I cannot see
cannot remember when I awake

they haunt me for I wonder
what they are not telling me

am I whom I seem to be
walking around in the daylight?

is my soul something else
something greater, or maybe lesser

these nightly visions
are but reflections turned inwards

mirrored samplings of who we are
sometimes distorted in our perceptions.

there is an emptiness
in my heart tonight

it is like a hole
that has no edges

a place where I cannot see
what resides within me.



Good night,

Nate
