Day 2

Day 2

At daybreak, I awake to see the light,

At nightfall, I fall onto bed and wrap up tight.

Rinse and repeat, the spin cycle rumbles on indefinitely,

Unbroken and unyielding, it flows along quietly.

Nights we wish would never end,

Glorious sunrises we wake up just to see;

Snow and rain and wind and sun,

Forces wielding beauty beyond imagination.

That cannot be undone.

That should never be undone.

So all can wake to hear the song bird's morning sonnet,

And drift away to the peaceful winds of night.

Yet our cries and forces are a drop in a bucket,

As we all sleepwalk towards the light.
