especially now
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.© 2022 j.g. lewis

we can’t remember
We won’t admit
we share the pain.
We tell ourselves
again and again
we are different.
We don’t know
what anyone feels,
or how anyone
deals with this now.
We can’t remember.
We don’t know
how to behave
like we used to.© 2021 j.g. lewis

instinct
Trust what you must, but
be wary of your volition.
Things are rarely as
they appear.
Yield to your intuition.
Your choices.
You must. Trust.

different
The pain you feel tomorrow
need not be what you know today.The steps that take you forward
can often lead to a different plane.The life that you’ve been living
will not always be the same.The thoughts you have been thinking
are subject to certain change.© 2017 j.g. lewis
