Glimpse

[shanmonster]

Walking on the night trail
Wishing I were alone save for your company
Resenting the bright flash of bicycle headlight
Undisguisable sound of revving engines and tires on pave
Chatter of voices
When all I want is peace.
And silence.

And then the others are gone
And the darkness looms ahead of me
And I stride into the black with eagerness.
Sounds melt.
My footsteps slow.
I gaze as stars bloom in the murky light-soaked sky.
Are you gazing too?
