The night had no effect
passing into dusk,
sleep comes abrupt,
detachment
kept from the dreamer.
Weaving without strings
being of light
Co-creating Artist
streaming consciousness,
into outer rings of darkness.
Retaining that glow
a vibrational echo
sounding off the walls
down the streets
through the parks
where no one sleeps.
—Ayat Bryant-Jalal
