Night Smiles

[:)]

These eyes have seen the threat of death to a friend, and

I have heard the recent news of it’s time come to family.

The night is where I am, what I need.

These eyes have seen a season of the sun under the gun, and

I have heard more laughter, song, and “I love you”s.

The night is where I am, what I need.

These eyes hold tears damned with gratitude, happiness, and joy, and

I have heard yet that I should let them fall as they come.

The night is where I am, what I need.

These eyes are scared to see what they see, and

I have heard that to feel deep, we must feel it all.

The night is where I am, what I need.

These eyes can see the moon’s warm smile, and

I have heard that the tides are tied to life - they rise, they fall, they cleanse.

The night is where I am, what I need.

These eyes may flood, but we will not drown, will not be washed away.

I have heard it is okay to smile in the dark. It is good to smile, like the moon.

The night is where I am, what I need.

The night is where I am, what I need.
