Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Another Day In the Universe

Didn't ask 
you why
       In case you
     are wondering
whether or not 
to answer me
    It's just 
another day
   here in 
the universe
    if you can't find an 
excuse
not to meet me
then, let's get 
together 
             and
                  join 
forces 
          in this moment
(which has outlasted 
     so many moments)
The dream which 
  blossoms 
             in the sun
is something 
you must contend 
with 
     For lights in the
distance
    are signaling 
us
    and we must 
understand them
      as best we 
can
     Eyes are watching us 
let's not disappoint 
       them
by our inaction
    It's just a 
  show after all
     In the sunlight 
you will 
        find what 
     you want
Have patience, friend
    This day in
the universe may
  last longer than 
  you think it will
Let's move while we can 
Our part has 
       yet to 
play itself out
    For you see 
in this garden universe 
We do have 
        a role of
   some importance
to play
