Listen out at night

Dolphine29

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.
