Race the Sun

Race the Sun

Let us save this night and thwart the day
running west with all we got
keeping the sun just below the horizon
running in the hours of yesterday

We trip and slow and start to chase shadows
that are ever shortening
as we lose strength in our legs and our race with the sun
It's won

Lost ends tomorrow. I know that it's just a show but it has become really important to me in the 6 years of its run. Today's piece is about trying to hold on... the internal refusal to change and bring on a new day. What if the sun doesn't look the same as it did yesterday? What if it's not as warm as we remembered it being? What if Kate doesn't end up with Jack? These are the questions that we feared will be answered... and so we run. Peace out.
