There is a twirling tap
Around midnight
It swivels and speaks
In its tiny voice
First it wants out
Bit by bit coming around
The one that needs to speak
Will come tonight
As it wonders about life
Fear and hope mixing together
Wrapping it all up
Into a tight knot
Tears running out
Need to get them down
Talking in the dark
To my own heart
It listens as I listen
Closer bounding around
Needing someone to hear me out
Just close enough until…
I answer back.

Lovely and paired with an apt image, this beautifully evokes those poignant moments when the mind, slowing down with far fewer influences on it, may hear thoughts that in the busyness of the day and other activities were stifled. Excellent with great imagery. I like it very well.
Thank you very much!
