It was just another day
The sun shone gray
The skies cried blue
Doves cooed sadness
Softly
A solitary two
Mourning morning’s
Departing
Nothing new
The grasses greened
In silence
As always
The birds preened
Leaned from nests
Sang true
The flowers blushed
Their pastel best
The breezes caught
A solemn breath
And everywhere
The heart of you
And everywhere
The soul of you
In echoes of
Adieu
Adieu
I wished
And wished
For just another day
