It’s late.
I’m walking home alone… and I love it.
The quiet…
As I walk over the bridge towards home
I feel … everything
A connection to the Water
A connection to the Earth
A connection to the Sky
I know that walking home alone at night
as a woman is…dangerous…risky…
Apparently I’m taking my life in my own hands.
Fuck you!
Fuck you to being afraid.
Fuck you to the entire thought of risk.
Fuck you to anyone who thinks that I - a grown woman - should not walk alone at night.
I love it.
The quietness.
The stillness.
The smell … salt mixed with earth.
The life I breathe on my way home.
The life that fills my lungs with beauty under moonlight.
I reach my home… my destination.
I feel triumphant.
A small miracle that I walked home
at night
in peace
In rapture of the night
And the moon.
That I should
In spite of everything
Ever need to consider the walk a risk
I sit now
At home
Outside
In peace
…. and breathe
the stillness of the night
My heart aches that I cannot always feel this way
But I’ll take it
If that’s the only way
I can feel this close to…everything
To the night
To the light
To my life
I’ll take it
I’ll risk everything
Again
And again.
For what?
For what am I?
If not the beating heart of a winter’s night..
It’s late.
I’m walking home alone… and I love it.
The quiet…
As I walk over the bridge towards home
I feel … everything
A connection to the Water
A connection to the Earth
A connection to the Sky
I know that walking home alone at night
as a woman is…dangerous…risky…

Fuck you!
