"in honor of tomorrow"

Everyday we live "in honor of tomorrow".
That's why we cry when someone we loves runs out of them. That's why I cry.

Everyday we live "in honor of tomorrow".
That's why we smile every night once the lights go off and our eyelids shut,  we smile for the hope that tomorrow never fails to bring. That's why I smile.

It's when I saw that fire burn away all of my memories. The ashes rising to the sky, burning my eyes, filling the air with death, filling my lungs. But meanwhile, as I stared into that blue sky filled with gray  and pieces of pictures, words, meaningless now, I couldn't help but smile. Because like those memories, I too am floating on the hope that tomorrow always brings a new day, a new idea, a new friend, and something to live for.

Today I lived for that late night walk with friends. How the air was cold against my face, waking me up from the inside out, bringing tears to my eyes. Stinging. Seeing the lights of the city, seeing the lights of the brilliant city that He built in the sky. It's these small moments that I remember that I am braver than I think, and that no matter what the circumstances I will learn to fly "in honor of tomorrow."
