At least we had all summer
all summer to feel the rains
to walk across the beach
to skip stones and laugh.
At least we had the sunrises
all summer to see the sunrises
to see the dew upon the grass
to listen to the sweet chirrups.
At least we had the full moons
all summer to watch the full moons
and then the crescent waning
and then the slivers in the night.
At least we had the night talks
all summer for the night talks
to whisper in the dark about everything
to whisper in the dark about nothing.
At least we know there's something.
All summer to feel there's something.
to know there's somewhere large than ourselves
to know that in all our insignificance
we become significant.
