It’s in the quiet

of a night

we have

our most critical thoughts.

We sometimes imagine

things we’re afraid

to tell others.

We have revelations,

cathartic moments,

anxious feelings,

where we feel like

suddenly we’re left

on our own.

Quite honestly,

though we have to

go with our instincts

realize that some

one is there,

rely upon them,

feel safe,

find peace of mind.

We have to know

we can reach out

now in that moment,

they’re probably waiting

for you.
