   Reminds me of a Robert Frost poem. He’s one of my top poets.

   Acquainted with the Night
   BY ROBERT FROST
   I have been one acquainted with the night.
   I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
   I have outwalked the furthest city light.

   I have looked down the saddest city lane.
   I have passed by the watchman on his beat
   And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

   I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
   When far away an interrupted cry
   Came over houses from another street,

   But not to call me back or say good-bye;
   And further still at an unearthly height,
   One luminary clock against the sky

   Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right
   I have been one acquainted with the night.

       He pared things down for us mere mortals. You do too.
