Release

Climbing through the sunshine,
I need to feel the night like wine upon my lips.
Racing through the daytime,
with the endless stream of pawns on a paper chase.

Reaching for the freedom,
that the scent of night can breathe into my soul.
And the darkness that lies warm and kind
like a kiss upon my face.

Changes come so quickly,
and the rat race ends when the darkness takes the game.
I'll search for beauty,
and catch my breath for the wonders that I find.

So many reasons 
why the evening wind brings changes to this town,
We find reprieve in this change of mood
And leave the endless games behind


Striving just to reach the prize
Is the formula for all our lives.
