"I remember
watching
the world
from the safety
and separation
of
a
bus
window.
From a distance,
they shine,
just
as
stars do,
and along
the stretch
and palisades
they all lead
to where you are.
I forget
hearing
your voice
as the bus
travels farther
down
roads
still
unknown.
Now, once more,
I am
here,
listening,
reaching out
to you
over eventide’s
shadows.
‘Hurry.’
To your side,
before the lights burst.
And so
we beat on
restlessly
against
time,
under the rain,
racing to see
if we
can beat
the
sun,
to prove
that our
lives
can be different.
And when
that reality comes,
quietly,
come
closer,
whisper to me
so we won’t
ever forget
that
you
and
I
will meet
again, soon,
always,
in this lifetime."
