***

As the sun sets and shadows fade our minds light the way forward: creativity unfurls as Midnight Blooms.

We take refuge under a constellation of ecstasy, where we hide from the anxiety that looms in the approaching dawn.

We shed masks of the outside world and don the uniform of freedom. Our labor is invisible, but our impact is seen.

We exhaust ourselves, swimming behind the endless wake of our dreams.

We can't fight the sun's inevitable rise.

As the light peers through we are reminded of what we sought to escape.

But we don't worry. Knowing that when the light fades, once again Midnight Blooms.

Light refreshments will be served.
