Light Emerges

Catch a glimpse of a bird's eye.
Static 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 light, the light, 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 light, the light, the light...endless summer.
Don't blink, the light would miss you.
Almost gone for the night.
Until another, light 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.

We're finding secrets left inside.
Let's not grow up, let's just go home.
