Toast

Dragonflies and the sun was out
Next thing I knew
The sun’s going down over the river
The sky is orange
We’ve been passing the days like
We could live on air
Your love is relaxing
Even delicious
I want to remember this song
A long long time from now
When we’re tired and we’re mired
In the work of every day
So tonight I toast
To the memory of the dead
As the friends we love are by our side
These days are not so easy
These days are not serene
There’s too much motion
They are thick with tension
Little is as I would like it to be
Your love is tempting
Even sneaky
I want to remember this song
A long long time from now
When we’re tired and we’re mired
In the work of every day
So tonight I toast t
O the memory of the dead
As the friends we love are by our side
My breath is my divine faith
Teach me to be quiet
Teach me to forget myself
To remember the many many kindnesses
