I Walk Alone in the Night

I WALK ALONE IN THE NIGHT

 

This one was actually published in 1994 in Today's Greatest Poets

 

I walk alone in the night
Lost in darkness within and without
Searching for a glimmer of light
To show me that I'm not alone
That my dreams are more than just dreams

 

I walk alone in the night
Untouched by joy or pain
I ache for the sunlight of companionship
But my tears give me only rain
The echo of my heart, thunder

 

I walk alone in the night
No stranger to the shadows of despair
For in my lonely world are others
Others like me, beyond my reach
All of us alone in the dark

 

I walk alone in the night
Until, at last, I see a hand
It reaches for mine, bringing the dawn
Boldly I take it, afraid to let go
And step forth into the sunlight
