The night is charcoal,
streetlights brighten
the never-changing colours
available at this hour.
There is a chill,
the air tastes fresh,
everywhere. Different,
Especially now.
Still and silent.
The mind wanders
the same way
a teenager does
after slipping out
a basement window
at 3:43 a.m.
knowing
nothing is happening
anywhere
in this darkness,
but the freedom
tastes
like nothing else.
Find your silence.
See your freedom.

You can’t change the changes.
You can alter the path in the
aftermath, but once something
is done, it is done.
Mistakes were decisions made in
a moment, learning experiences
once you get to know it.
You can’t change them, now,
but they changed you.

We’ve all got places to be, there are
always things to do and people to see.
  Or maybe it is time to yourself, a
planned getaway from the everyday
stuff life throws at you.
  Wherever you go, no matter where
you need to be, try to take a different
approach or a new route. Try for a
new view on the same old you.
  Every day need not be plain. Today,
in fact, does not have to be the same
as yesterday, or the day before.
  Try, today, for a little more.
