I like words as they comfort me in the dark,

While I lay awake at night staring at the ceiling.

I find answers to questions that in daylight have no meaning.

Words dance with the lights that flicker and prance.

I find solace in them as they come by chance,

playing with them as they bend in and out of sight.

understanding finds me, as I burrow deeper into the night.

Epiphanies abound, I can finally find solid ground.
