I have been writing the last couple of nights, and to release my poem and then read yours, I noticed that we both reference a metronome, animals, the land, and the thought of a quiet night. It is really impressive that we both have analogous thoughts when we are both in such distant places and civilizations.
I always have had this strong feeling about you that tells me that you are a sensitive, empathic soul, who truthfully cares for others and the world, so I am sure that what's happening in the world right now is keeping you thinking, to say the least.
In the midnight hour is when we have to be the strongest, to face the dark, to enlighten the others to drop the swords.
