Text for Tired Eyes:

What will we remember when it comes to it,
to the pinprick of light bursting
rebelliously through the pitch,
what will we carry with us?  It will be the
moments, the firework explosions of light,
of color and all the words said, and the
silences, the words we didn’t have the
strength of tongue to utter.  It will be
the chasing, not the light, it will be the
running through forests, from problems, or
straight into arms.  It will be the lips, red and
pulsing from first kisses and last, from
words that danced across them like
ballerinas, the sound of laughter like
wingbeats in winter skies.  I’m collecting them,
now, and I hope they are enough then,
I hope they tell the story of me, of us, and
I hope there is music with it, filled with god
sounds and beauty; I hope I hear it
over the sounds of my heart beating,
if slower.
We are slideshows of the seconds we’ve
seen, stories told with sorrow, with strength
and grace.  
When it comes to it, to the end of these
times, we will see what we have seen,
only brighter, slower, and filled with sound
and soul.  We will see this story,
so fill its pages with such stunning
and simple light, we will never wish
to look away.
