flash the screaming notes of light



heartbroken and crestfallen the sun retreats behind the cover of the horizon and night reigns once more, for the second time in the past 2 days. the moon peeks in and out of the scattered sheets of clouds every once in a while to watch the rain drop pitter patter on the concrete. the grass catches each speck and the earth beneath soaks in the wet mingled with the bright of the stadium lights and so the ground glows.

the sun's flown to another time zone gone to play on another playground spinning so fast too dizzy to jet lag. here night's fallen but darkness will never saturate entirely. too many night owls perched in high buildings too many deadlines to meet no time for sleep so late night witnesses dreams realized and hopes come apart. bands wrap up their shows 1 am 2 am it's time for the after party all night the sun's still shunned for a couple more hours while we still have some black and purple let's enact beautiful nightmares.

emptiness bound by permanence transient and the potential for closure the hope for a happy ending alive until the night calls it a night let's drive through the empty streets with our radios loud then off then back on again a soundtrack to our insomniac thoughts
