Just One More Day

by Michael J Falotico Just one more day to play this song.. What was written once was never proven wrong.. Sand castles that washed away.. Tumbled slowly without a say.. Just one more day to taste these lines.. We walked so blind and never saw the signs.. Wilted flowers that missed the light.. What was etched in stone never made the flight.. Just one more day to not fall from grace.. Holding what I can't see while masking my face.. Another verse that tells of a brighter day.. Left with a song that surely will not fade..

Hello Michael my W.K. .. I just read your collab with PD my BFF and all I can say is it is NUMBER ONE already with me.. once u post it too I am making it my new favorite as the lines have devoured my soul and heart intensely.. the fervor and the fever of expression is dynamic..luv.. and I am shivering with delight at its beauty of composition.. told PD she completed it well but your lines are more than mesmerizing and intoxicating... they are like catnip..oh..J.G. in trance mode..fprever//

There's a sad tenderness in your write -- washed away sand castles, wilted flowers and especially "holding" what you can't see. Memories of brighter days stay with us and we just keep pushing forward hoping to find happiness again. Lovely poem! Carolyn
