Catch an eye, caught a spark,
Outside, in the dark.
I swear I can hear our laughter,
Further ahead, further on up.
I promise I can do my best,
To let you know you're being cared for.
This story has had quite the cast of characters,
So I step back to see the whole tapestry.
Now I am struck by these moments passing on.
Fall trees, falling leaves, golden on the ground.
Lines of magnificent adults forging words for one another.
Lonely intersections full of past and present possibility.
A man offering a chestful of support for lover's tired head.
Wordless, breathless airport reunions sequel anxious longing looks.
Snow falls on this silent night, holy night, a world at rest.
So be at peace; be still when you sleep.
Find the right words for each person
And guard your heart from a bitter erosion.
Share but not steal, be honest to heal.
Rise each day, place determination in your steps,
Boldness in word and deed, and over all of these,
Hope.
