Why do words feel looser on the tongue
When night falls and stars shine?
Is it because the air flirts with your lungs
Without the baggage of an intrusive day,
And busy thoughts?
I feel the grass under my fingertips,
I see the stars shine when the clouds disperse,
And I hear your voice among the distant laughs,
And I think, I need more time –
Time to write and appreciate
The grandeur and simplicity of it all.
