Please let me have a better night.

Please let me have a better night.

There is a certainty

In youth

It leaks away

So much less is known

In the pursuit of understanding

I can dance in the moonlight

Under the stars

In bare feet

Feeling the texture of the earth

Against my skin

To make a connection

Energy passing right through me

It leaks away

In every direction

There is a power

To be gained from positive thinking

For a little while

Until a truth is sought

Answers to questions

Yet to be found

Are swept up

By a gust of wind

Scattered in moonbeams

Every speck of dust

Is a memory

A thought once known

They leak away

Without benefit

To further understanding

Drifting out of reach

Everything known moves

We are constellations

With a mass

Of infinite variables

Dancing in concert

Whilst we waste our time

Chasing shadows

The system decays

Energy is lost

Any certainty within it

Uncontainable

It leaks away
