Every Day
Somehow I wake
and test every day’s resolve
To implant a view in me of a rising sun
and a moon that swims quietly alongside
So shadows can spread
and it can state its resilient case
Quietly
I ponder the case of life
Its persistent quest to quell protest
And derive a quizzy thought
from mundane efforts to exist
And ask why we cloud in mystery
this endless dance to spell a trance
and call tomorrow new
It shines the evil of man
And the hesitant flowery question of life
That turns sprightly
and leaves all answers unheard
It turned my loves around
till my heart quizzed me blind
A testy anguish later
it cried and left me a note
That it must leave my world
and craft a new forbidden love
while I twist a storm
into hope
that grows every day I wake
