Pick a memory of light

Madonna Ray of Light




Pick a memory of light
Any one
Her joy
Tiny feet chasing
Walking the rails
With the father
Finding
Treasure in discarded rags
That
He had placed
Though
She didn't know
Does it change the memory?

Pick a memory of light
Any one
In the racing
Chaotic scurry
Of the daily race
Like
Suffocating heat
Fieldhouse filled
Barbarian yawps
Diming in his ears
Focus on
Defying odds
Rising to the challenge
He knew
Victory merely waited
Do you chase the horizon?


Pick a memory of light
Her smile
A moments pause
The delight found
In accepting eyes open
Or
The desire found
In longing eyes closing
Before the moment
Burning contact
Passes
Does it change the moment?

Pick a memory of light
That hides in tomorrows sunrise
It's there you know
Flying
Waiting
Longing
For you to make it
For your capture
"Chase me"
Coo's its breathy whisper
Waiting
Will you pursue?

But the wisest of all
Fill the present
With light
So all can see
Back
Perhaps they burn
To defy the memories
Whose skeletal arms reach
To blind
That which
Might try to bind
And distract
Defeat
Complete
Those that try to
