when night falls
you are somewhere
not here
and I ask myself
what I wish for
when night falls
and another day waits beyond the horizon
what do I long for
call out to
establish as my desire
as this day draws to a close
the familiar, blended with the mysterious
beckons me in equal fashion
we have a long way to go

“beckons me in equal fashion” is a marvelous line. Plus, even though the lines are appropriately jagged, it still as an easy and enjoyable prosody and cadence. Thank you.
Thanks!
This speaks very well to our national mood as well as our personal ones right now, I think. We want something to look froward to but we aren’t sure what that will look like. I enjoyed this a lot. Thanks!
Thank you!
