Sometimes When We Emote That Much

sometimes when we emote that much
like some bleeding hearts
blinded by
the colors of the blood and sweat
of the dying sun

we fail to see
that the day has ended

that it is time to sleep
and dream

that it is time to give way
for other souls to
cry to weep to sigh

that it is time for some
other creatures who died
when they were once
children
to play their forgotten games
in the dark

sometimes we must accept
this is not just ours
this is also theirs

and the tears that dry
on the sand may not be just
ours after all

we may meet them
in due time, but for now let me
meet myself, let me drink with it
let me know his name

we are still strangers of the
very shining light.
