opening

unfettered
the silence is deep
and I am free in the night
my thoughts travel long

how strange, even in the sunlit desert
winter brings out night in my thoughts
this is not unwanted
but rather necessary
a need for balance
to explore and find answers

as my thoughts search out and in
words form in twilight
suspended between night and day
like a silver thread of purpose
that is woven through my soul

(Maybe coherent only to myself, but that is what's floating around
up there. For reasons unknown, I am compelled to open this door.)
