Elixir

Poem by Ashley-Lauren Vallesteros.



Elixir


On this side of the world

everyone is fast asleep

but I am the only one

who wanders alone

in the night.


The bustling streets

now consumed by silence

and darkness

are littered with loners

–such as I.


I long for a companion

to guide me back home

but I’d rather have

this special elixir with me

on my trek into the morning.


My once dark day

now brought back to life

in the night

is fixed with a quick of a sip

and this has brought me closer

to a sense of tranquility

I never knew I could have.
