Just For the Day
Sunrise starts us on a new day
present tense is pushed away.
mind and body cleansed...
anticipation of the day is sensed
alive...just for the day.
The day lightens upon a meeting place
as the hands of time quicken their pace
Walking the human forged trail, you and I
the canopy of trees throw shadow to sky
shining...just for the day.
Thoughts long past arise, memories awake,
ever answerless about a path we did not take.
Return to today
...yet past thoughts stay
...answerless still
...resolution delayed.
happy...just for the day.
Stories are told, laughter is shared
silent moments between reflect the deepest of care.
Playful and fun, with an otherworldly feel
How many more moments like this can we steal.
complete...just for the day.
Sun dips down through the color streaked sky
already upon the time of goodbye.
As the light is fading, inevitably,
we delay our departure as long as can be.
Just for the day, I finally see.
Just for the day, just you and me.
