Light Emerges - Akron/Family

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
