Night Travel


A night is a travel- 
for many a purpose -
for many destinations -
from many places -
- and many souls...
- where some will reach the goal
- and some will fail....

A night is dark -
dark in mind,
dark in soul,
many try to find light -
- and hide in home...
- hide behind locks...
- and some will fail....

A night is a dream -
for those who sleep -
for those who can escape -
from worries of darkness -
- and many dreams...
- and many find rest...
- but some will fail...

A night bring work -
for those who will -
for those who steal -
for those who care -
- and good will come...
- and bad will come...
- but all will end...
