I like to stand

in the middle of a road

when night meets day,

where the street lights glimmer

and reflect off of the streets

glazed with rainwater.

It is here

where I feel like life stops

for just a moment.

When I can only pay attention

to the colors,

the so many brilliant colors

that bleed across the ground

and reach for my shoes.

It is here

where I feel like dancing

reaching my hands up to the sky

so that I can feel its beauty course

through my veins.

It's all I can hope for,

to fill my veins with the power

of night and morning

so that I may run wild in the streets

for just one moment.

It is then

that I remember those

who I love

and it grounds me,

brings me back to earth.

I am not sad though,

for it was only a moment where

I could run wild and free

and the thought of returning

to those that I love

is something that

comforts me more

than the wet city streets.
