Chasing the Light - Blackout Poetry Notes

Too Short

She began to discover life
wasn't too short:
laughter and love were
the answer.

That's the whole point.
I don't want to fade
I want to flame away - 
a work of art
ablaze with hope.

Walk around the city,
make a habit to 
feel humanity.

What a life!
There are still kind people
in this world - together,
we deserve to have it all.

The inexhaustible
song of light was indefinable
and vaguely recognizable
if I had only heard it in words.

Should you chance to
vanish into nature, be as wild
as you can be.

Open your eyes.
Let life in
and
welcome experience.

Living is so uncertain
and hard
but I feel there is 
so much more
purpose
instead of a future so black.
I want
to never be afraid.

Every breath we draw,
every instant of life
must be called into existence
from love.

I want quiet
surrounded by darkness
and silence: that moment
would fade
into a magic moment.
