Night Travels © JLeahy

In the black of the night

Mind’s curtain drops

A screen unfolds

Scenes after scenes

Words travel in echoes

Enemies captured

Friends laugh

A child cries

Someone screams

Emotions grip you

You are afraid

Someone holds you

In places only dreamers go

Shapes blend into pictures

And fades into nothing

Spirit walks, runs and flies

In just one night, a lifetime,

can become one story

Until dawn brings the ending
