[hometext] => A could write poetry about this forever. Truly a moment in time.
[bodytext] => I sit and count the stars. A fire ebbs slowly in the background, staving off the darkness, refusing to give up the fight. I reward it with reinforcments. A chair carries us through the night, a slow motion for a slow trip, back and forth, future to past. Words are fuel, and bring us from place to place. I have seen the world tonight. I have seen what was, and what was before. I have seen what is, and has always been. I've seen what no one else has. But I can't talk about it. It's a secret. The words drift into the air. Dieing as soon as they leave your lips. You're there, but no poetry has ever really done you justice. Time drifts up into the sky, against a million fire flies, who got stuck there for all eternity. And I try to find them all, as I count the stars.
