The light that was our lives
That bygone past
We romanticize
And hope and long for
Is still out there
Somewhere
One moment following the next
One right behind the other
Alive in images of light
Traveling through space
Like the stars
That burned out long ago
Which we now see
Lighting the dark sky above us
