A Long While In The Dark (would do some good)

I think some days

Everything is better with the lights

Out and curtains drawn

I’ll spend a long while in the dark

Because nothing is more calming

The sun set but I wasn’t watching

Now there are airplanes and stars

Life feels rather gentle

If you asked me a few years back

I would be feeling guilty right now

The list of things I should be doing

Is long, promises and tasks

Existence as a whole

These days I think

I have learned to do otherwise

Do what you can

Take care of yourself first

Lie in the dark

As life progresses things

Will not take up so

Much space
