Listen to poem:

Captives of the Calendar

Captives of the Calendar
David J Walker

And so goes your calendar
January nearly gone
With another new dawn
Approaching 
Just beyond the encroaching 
Morning sun

To me, this today is forever
never new and
The night will never grow older as
The passing of the suns and moons
The equinox grows colder

This today will never be done
Freeing the captives of the calendars 
From the obligation 
Of artificial precision
