Untitled

I was just inspired to write a poem while walking around outside and enjoying the rare warm night. I don't think it's that good but I'll still share it. It's only my first draft and I might change later on and give it a title.

Untitled
A cool breeze caresses my skin and fills me with warmth,
The stars gaze down on me out of a cloudless sky
and the grass caves in beneath me,
Still soggy from the Winter Snow.
The air is both refreshing and heartbreaking.
I am filled with shadows of memories I can not yet ascertain.
And my heart groans with some long lost pain.
The streetlights generate a warm glow,
the bare tree branches form a hallow around them.
A bell reverberates in the distance, heralding the beginning of a new day.
A semi hisses to a stop before continuing it's lonely journey.
A couple rests against each other on a bench in the distance and I realize my own loneliness.
I wish I could stop and for a moment just be,
but my legs carry me forward...and the bell continues to ring.
