this night

sitting in the cool darkness
soaking in the peace and solitude
savoring the silence and calm
tonnes of work waiting for me
calling out my name
screaming for my attention
but
they can all wait
now, let me enjoy this rare, precious moment
something so scarce, so difficult to come by
a moment just by myself
sitting in the darkness
with dry cheeks and clear vision
even, deep breathes and a calm mind
how beautiful
to many, this may be something that is just oh-so-normal
but for me, it is almost a blessing
almost perfect
and it would really be
if you could be here
