I take comfort from the darkness
and this is why I walk,
the lonely streets of amber haze
the silence of no talk,
the night time paints a different scene from the one of day,
the lowly hum of traffic seems so far away,
rows of houses lie in black except for one or two,
I run my fingers along their fences just as a child would do,
destination is undesired, I simply stroll on by,
as silver lights from pin hole stars pierce through a velvet sky,
the moonlight flickers through the trees, gently touching the mist,
and all around the ground grows white for the frost has softly kissed,
I exhale a dancing heat, that rises like a flare,
as my breath evaporates against the chill filled air,
the chill now turns steadily to a frozen bite,
the amber haze is vanquished by the dawning light,
I turn my collar up, and head back before the rise,
to the comfort of my inviting bed, and simply close my eyes.
