Night Wanderers
Sometimes
In the restlessness of night
I forget I have a body
I am purely electric
Running off reserves long wasted
I go to college
And ask the most wonderful questions
And I am the best student
And I am funny
And bright
And glowing
Then I am eight years old again
Having a conversation with a best friend
I wish my voice box had felt
And somehow
Long ago and future memories
Are real
Activated by some ethereal whisper of mind butterflies
That float around
Illuminating the darkest shadow beings
And bringing to life the ever-wishes
Knives cannot hurt me
I am too fast for their swiftness of sharp
The echoes they sound are but mirrors
Of the quiet anxiety that finds me here
In the dark
Alone
I am the light
I realize
As my voice carries my mind into a dimension
Known only to the sleepless blunderers
That find solace in the blinding white of their channel, the Word Document
Highest praise to wanderers of night
They travel into deeper caverns than any hero could know
They babble and ramble and tounge-twist into their slumber
For their eyes,
They do not tire
