Close midnight,
Power-failure; candle light
One photograph, one cigarette,
And miles of meaning,
For solace, comfort and a kind of morning.
Early morning;
New life, new birds,
New telephone messages,
Humming on the wire
Where birds rest and call out the break of day.
One message on the wire
Sings for you.
Mid-afternoon,
We rest with our memories
And thoughts sing out.
New thoughts sing out,
For you.
