Call me
a god of the night
precious…
but unprotected
a god of the night
precious…
but unprotected
I give light
where no one else would
some have to go out of their way
where no one else would
some have to go out of their way
sometimes
to truly appreciate me
I and my multitude of family,
duplicates and clan
I can be everywhere
yet right here
I alone
even tho in my space
even tho in my space
I am calculated never alone
never to reach the others shine
I stand…
I stand…
posted…
staring…
glaring…
Yet do the same job for all
I never judge.
I never judge.
I see no color.
exercise no prejudice.
often neglected;
but always depended
exercise no prejudice.
often neglected;
but always depended
forgotten by day
everyone passes
everyone passes
never think
to talk to me
never ask how’s my day
I never sleep at night
I sleep the days away
I sleep the days away
I work a night shift
you can set your clock by me
you can set your clock by me
when I fail,
if ever I fail…
I leave a void to be filled
in the darkest hour
I bring slight comfort like no other
I know to some
I know to some
it does not matter
but ask the lone figure
but ask the lone figure
or the stranded mother
I will be here
ready to work my shift
everyday…
everyday…
When the day fades away…

I work nights. So I always look for things to relate, that share my same fate! This is what came to mind…
As Always…
Stay Positive!

Before blogging, I had searched too long for a company to pass the night as insomnia leaves me not in peace before dawn where a max. of three hours are left to get up for work…then I’ve found too many things sharing my fate though never thought of a street-light; lovely piece..
Peace & Light

a bunch of them are actually meant to be spoken out loud. so they are purposely written that way! 🙂
