Day One

Day one; a newborn sun Bar the door on memories And now let’s have some fun Our minds sail off choppy seas Stand tall, stillness finds your knees And now let’s do as we please Forest’s floor bristles with fur Life carpets the thawing ground It’s just like her; for a color blur Heat erupts, a chorus of sound Everything lost has been found Heavy hearts have lost a pound The sun’s rays, a new coat of paint Melts the pain, darkness’s drain Kicking a new path with no complaint ‘Cause there’s a fresh day to be slain And as we peek at day two Another life begins anew
