The air is warm, the night struggles to be seen.
There are red tailights going ahead, there are white headlights running in the other direction.
As I pass under the road the ambulance speeds by above, red, white, flashing and screaming.
On the side off the hill the lights of the trolley crawl like a snake toward the college where the self powered billboard flashes and pulses with sun like brightness.
Still the night beckons, through streetlights and buses and stores, opened and closed.
24 hours, open all night, extended hours....why do we waste so much time.
Embrace the night, close the curtains, rest your soul and release your dreams.
Peace, the night has come.

About Me
- sammie96
- I am entering the midlife term with my elderly mother in tow. I left my eastern hometown for a reason but all my brothers and my sister died before me so now I have mom. I put myself through nurse's training first as an LVN and then as an RN. I did this while being a single parent of a lovely, educated and kind daughter. I learned that there would be no one ther to kill spiders for me and that I had best learn to do it for myself. I can do plumbing but I hate it. I enjoy light electrical, painting, acid staining concrete and many other home improvement projects. I am also a really good cook. My friend Pat gave me the best compliment, she said "sometimes you must get disappointed when you go to a restaurant".

I read a beautiful description today by Pliny the Younger about the pyroclastic cloud descending from Vesuvio and covering the area. He said the sky turned black, but it wasn't like the black of night without stars or moon, it was like being shut in a room with a spent lantern.
