Ready before me
As I woke up, to dreams of this day
This very day that the light could agree to stay
Even a bit longer is never enough for us
The night will come
but before then
before darkness becomes darkness it is pink and gold
and that we can capture
a tiny amount of it in a vial
that extra little piece
we can set it on our nightstand and watch it glow
we can stay up all night
for the longest day yields the shortest night
so we will be alright
as we slowly, slowly, slowly lay
this tall and beautiful day
down to sleep
gratefully
and give thanks
for that extra sliver of time
that shines and shines and shines
far beyond the impending night
