nocturnal

Written after walking around in a 'scary' area that usually is not scary at all during the day
Things got freaky around 3 or 4 am...
I revised it recently... it did help to be far removed from that moment's emotions...



I Will Walk With You:


I will walk with you
Sweet merry freaks getting off on treats    
I will walk with you
Sideline abiding nighttime dwellers
I'm an observer
Hiding among buyers and sellers                  
I'll walk with you
But
I won't engage with you  
I won't touch you
I won't smile, I won't speak
I'll just look at you
With compassion            
Yes
I'll walk with you
Yes
But
there will be no understanding
Nor will there be relief
