This day

Let me forget
what it is to sin
Let me withdraw,
even if momentarily
the urge to let go
and hold
Let me, let me not
pen but sing
these stories untold
Let me follow
the wind I've been
gaiting in my heart
Let me count
no more of my wasted tears

All of my life
and all my life
into and with you,
that I never did start

A dream that I kept
sophomore, one which
would leave me
breathless and gasping for more

I wouldn't know why
it'd come to be,
this life with no time
for cheer

Just casting moments
of melodrama and
that ever bountiful smear
of joy writ large over in grace

I grieve not, this day
though will meet its end
I shall carry it
with me
before it slips out like sand

Let me submerge,
in that laughter,
that yesterday once more

Let me love tomorrow
like my yesterday's
Head over heels;
I've come beyond existing
I've come far beyond ...
