[00:05.42]Between the linen flattened light
[00:10.19]A scarlet hour pressed from flight;
[00:14.91]The stem remembers wind and dare
[00:20.10]Yet rests as if it lived on air
[00:26.87]A label holds a date and place
[00:34.07]Archivists of tender grace;
[00:39.17]They trap the passing not to bind
[00:45.81]But help the seeing help the mind
[00:51.78]I press one moment of my own
[00:58.46]A look that made my courage grown;
[01:04.23]Not to refuse the river’s run
[01:10.95]To honor where its gift begun
[01:17.60]Pages close with cedar breath
[01:23.31]No theft of time no cage of death;
[01:29.90]The living moves the record stays—
[01:35.81]Two faithful friends two needed ways
