The Night Is Mine
The night is mine.
The world is asleep and the sun abandons the sky
making room for the countless stars.
Streetlights have warmed the darkness, offering me a home.
The wind wraps around me
Like arms of a mother.
I am reluctant to turn back.
Running from no one
The night is mine.© Mandie Lopatka Grade 7 Riverbend Junior High
