Matcha With The Sun

The night is quiet

But my heart beats like a running clock

(Tick-tock, tick , Tick-tock, Tick)

Try to close my eyes

But my thoughts dance in a wandering pulse

(Ba dump ba dump, Ba dump ba dump)

Another night

Lost to a war inside my head

In restless dark

I sing a Psalm,

“Be Still and Know”

Breathe in, hold on

Exhale, let go

Let morning come,

And try again

Half-dream-half-awake somewhere

Between longing and being at peace

Maybe tomorrow

I’ll drink my matcha with the sun
