burn out before dark


left alone with thought
watching the fire burn out before dark
wishing to know more
explore places will never see
too late now to start it up again
the fire must be left alone
with thought tangled tighter
some days it's harder to see above clouds
even with the clearest skies above
wishing to figure it all out
untangle the web by day
break tomorrow
left alone with thought
all that solitude replaced with company
no one here to offer encouraging words
advise or criticism some eyes need to be found
to find this thought discovered while
sitting alone tan canopy and glass table
looking right through
catching the eyes dozing one minute
pen moving the next
left alone with thought
buried under the weight of the day
wouldn't end if the light would stick around
a little longer days ahead six more times
before the reverse is true
left alone with this thought...
