A Single Night Poem by Sean Green

A Single Night



A single night becomes the hinge
moving past the commonplace
with a sight that deviates
from the norm that most embrace

beyond the drone of the days
where conformance brings dismay
put aside in truth's pursuit
of relevance by joy's display

testimony of what should be
imagined in the realm of dreams
realized without regret
then voiced to others as consequence

the promise made stakes a claim
‘if only this were every day"
now gods have heard the call
in depths of night to the beyond.
