You know...

sometimes...very late at night...

when even the heavens have said goodnight...

when the world wants nothing more from me...

and the children are safe in the arms of sleep...

I find the place between here and there...

a moment hidden behind thin air...

and I pull my weary self inside

and close my hot and bleary eyes...

and in this place that none can see...

where strong hearts break and bruised souls bleed...

i cry
