Tonight.....sleepless under a clear sky, no stars to marvel at nor symphony to lull me to sleep...just silence and this that keeps me in its grasp

This has me up tonight, waiting to be revealed tonight....
This has me up tonight, beating its endless rhythm tonight....
This has me up tonight, teaching its lessons again tonight.....
This has me up tonight, asking and hoping I will heed tonight....

It rolls around my head tonight, making its home in me tonight.....
It unleashes all my fears tonight, consuming all my dreams tonight...
It takes away my light tonight, casting shadows of doubt tonight.....
It gives and mostly takes tonight, leaving me empty and lonely tonight.....

I wonder if it will allow spring tonight, green growth filled with life tonight....
I wonder where the beauty is tonight, when fireflies that lit up the dark tonight.....
I wonder if forgiveness will enter trembling hearts tonight, or will it fade with the setting sun tonight...
I wonder if pain will sting tonight or if sunshine will vanquish its poison tonight....

Wonder

Just a peace, an overwhelming peace, the kind where I can breathe and I'm not constantly holding my breath

its always up and down and twist and turn......when will it be a straight shot!
