CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST
talks about
the big things in life
by
focusing on the small.
It's there
in the way friends speak
when they go out for drinks,
in the shared late night walk,
in the eating of a watermelon.
It's there
in the way a man who's dying and a woman who's living
realize that
we build our lives out of the details,
and that
while we're alive
every one of them is like frozen time.
And that
after we're gone,
all the details,
all the perfect mornings,
all the shared experiences,
all the times we talked to someone who was really listening -
after we're gone
it's all lost,
forever.
