saturn's day

what light that shines tonight is lightening -
in the dancing dream of a midnight sky
and the tiny sparks that surround us.

whether or not i am awake, i will focus
on this moment like a first kiss,
walking along the edge of a slippery reality,

ready to fall completely in.

it is our light that suppresses any fleeting flames
and overcomes darkness like a glowing memory.

it's our light that will burn beyond this flash in time
and supersede the lack of sunshine.

what light that shines tonight is electric -
weaving through the endless stream of streetlights
and the irresistible pandemonium of stars
that guided us home.
