Today is a day that passes
with no wake up call to warn me
interactions brush off my tongue lightly
grin with a glance
kindly
easily greeting each face i pass
today is a day where my room is clean
and i can stop and breathe
it passes so quickly with ease
Today is a day with no music
I can listen to the birds and wind
Today is a day with blank thought
my mind effortlessly at peace
and the day will creep beside me in my slumber
tip toeing to the night
I won’t forget to say thanks
as it fades
the day was just a day
that had passed and gone
and there will be another one
but i’m thankful it lingered on
