IN 24 HOURS

Welcome sunlight ... not here? no matter

soon you will be, I'll be patient

The earth turns a smidgeon as music is reborn

no one to share it with, the joy of joy

the ticking wall clock an emotionless friend

palpable energy fills the air

an inward sigh of huge relief

I know that today will be a good day

Welcome sunlight here at last

See what dawn's workings have resulted

an easing of tension three months long

a revelation yet to be born

a message cloaked in tingling anticipation

raises the hair on the nape of the neck

Questions ... yes definitely questions

why today of all days is timing so sweet 

Looks like today will be a good day

Welcome sunlight, its past noon

and the shadows cast have shortened

a whisper heard in the in between

spills from a reservoir of emotion

bursting free like unguarded truth

leaving you light headed like a helium balloon

straining at the invisible shackles of circumstance

the cords that binds us to humanity

Its not alright ... but yet alright

the makings of a really good day

Welcome twilight, the curtains close

the last rays gone to find new lands

a tumultuous twist adds a new dimension

the information sears a blaze in the mind

A missive not an ultimatum

with a plea to be listened to

a misgiving torch held burning bright

suspends life in the disappearing light

this is not scripted ... an ad lib

but does it have to be this way ?

something must give for something to live

24 hours ... what a day
