BEFORE SUNRISE
Millions of feet have trudged this path
And left pieces of their soles
Stuck on the ground, that we
So warmly remember as a corner of our own.
As we inhale the fading dusk
And try to capture the stars as indelible memories,
We take this moment constructed in stardust
And place it in a museum where the world
Starts to envy this meaning that we found
In smiles that somehow coaxed the other
That years wasted and a life changed
Can be both meaningful and meaningless,
Because of one night when the moon
Poured its glue of ethereal connections,
On two souls that learned that
Magic exists in knowing another,
And in the attempt to understand,
That millions of lips pine for love,
Because they have tasted it at least once.
And left pieces of their soles
