Each Day Is a New Day
Years raced across the young mind so forlorn
In wasteland a parched traveler wandered
Journey seemed destined to end all alone
In summer cloud you came rained in my yard.
Dormant dreams bloomed flowers in my garden
Time stopped as we lay under the moist sky
Shrouded moon took me to dawn heart broken
The cloud flew away I didn’t know why.
Journey I resumed on a new landscape
My heart stronger never again to break
Invents clouds for shade the scorch to escape
Mind holds nothing for life to turn a wreck.
Rains would come and go fleeting clouds won’t stay
I’m content for each day is a new day.
