In the night, my mind turns to the past.
As I am beginning to drift away,
I imagine the friends I met that day.
Sometimes I am afraid of my mistakes.
My fear subsides when I forgive myself.

Suddenly, I awoke to the sound of laughter.
I was disoriented by an untamed TV.
What will I do to repeal my isolation?
I slept again with brave dreams of the sky.

High above me floated magnificent machines.
I watch them descend back to the earth.
I wonder what their mysterious purpose is.

It will be morning soon.
I feel a smile welling up inside me.

I can wake up into the light again
