night-time ponderings

it's the night-time that opens my eyes, my ears, and heart. my eyes grow wider, i can hear myself think clearly, and my feelings start to pour out. it's both a blessing and a curse. especially when there's a downpour and nothing to protect me from this storm of emotion. but then, after dodging the terrible bullets of thoughts that try to wash over me, i accept that i can't fight it right now and in the end, it cleanses me. i wake up the next morning feeling fresher, brighter, and more full of promise than ever.
