Light Emerges

Catch a glimpse of a bird’s eye
Stoic stance and stoic cry
Filling mason jars with fireflies
Nature’s glowing
Unearthing worms from a flower bed
Not too soft but not too hard
Collecting visions in my brittle head
Happy slumber
The life, the life, the light… endless summer
Don’t blink, the light would miss you
Almost gone for the night
Until another light emerges
Alley cat behind a garbage can
I bet you’ll never catch him
Chase him up and down the alleyway
Faster feline
Now longing hands I heard young Collin say
«are you with me?»
Down to Cochran for the games we play
Tonight
The life, the life, the light… endless summer
Don’t blink, the light would miss you
Almost gone for the night
Until another life emerges
Laying out on summer nights
Moon in sky beams bright with streetlight
We’re finding secrets left inside
Let’s not grow up
Laying out on summer nights
Moon in sky beams bright with streetlight
We’re finding secrets left inside
Let’s not grow up, let’s just go home
