The nights are long
and dark
and silent.
People sleep,
or should.
But me?
My mind paces.
My mind hunts out
reasons
And finds silence.
There are things
I know
but don’t feel.
The intellect plays strange
games.
There are things I feel
but know
are false.
Emotions are fickle.
My heart wanders.
God,
I search.
The questions
have answers
only fit for Job.
