One Night is Stopping Me

Mark Joseph Kiewlak

One night is stopping me
as surely as the autumn leaves
fallen
withhold from the earth
the sun’s warmest embrace

One night
were I to become
audience
to my own play
to see that which
being so much a part of me
eludes my everyday senses

then I would realize
as with sunlight through the clearest pane
no true barrier
exists

I am the one
living in my soul
with the shades half-drawn
and the promise of scorching clarity
a decision away

One night
is stopping me
and one night
I will rise
and make of the world
at last
my home
