When the sodium lights first come on
Those are the moments
Those moments of departed daylight
Departed vision
Those adolescent moments of endless
Possibility
.
Each footstep a promise to the future
Each breath an assurance of its promise to me
.
Tonight we walked the twenty-something streets
In those adolescent moments
Senses awakening to the edge of night
Inhaling understanding as we each day grow
Footsteps to tomorrow
