Staying alive
is the only trial
of the night.
The judges wilt
in the first rays
of morning’s light.
Daytime,
all we want
is to live.
Find the words
to tell the world
what it is
to be here.
Simple things
mean so much.
Complicated messages
corrupted
in the translation.
It’s not
very hard to say “Hello”
in a thousand languages.
Pierce the world,
listen to the undertones.
This is it,
the point of contact.
Let’s be clear,
we are doing something
incredible right now,
like telepathy.
Reaching out
to you
through the darkness.
When we touch,
it’s something special.
There may be
no barriers at all,
because night and day
only exist
here.
HG – 2022
