When these feelings

deeper than mere intimations

can take hold so easily and derail the positive

glow, so painstakingly being allowed to shine

And when it is “all your fault”

(and it is, make no mistake, although not in the shameful ways you are imagining)

then there is something to be said for the bleeding embers of twilight

the sunset sky

the evil lurking around every corner seems

to subside to the warm logic of freedom

And all your mistakes

your invisible leanings and longings

the patterns of nothing more than cries for...

anything

discover themselves

Well, in this light I am rendered.

And that is enough.

Now get some rest.

Big things lie ahead.

Songs of battles deemed impossible to win.

Of which you are already the victor.
