3 days one right

By Danny Villarreal

     1st day

 

     Expanding and collapsing

     Air masses

     Clouds bring rain

     Hide the sun

     From tender eyes

     Behind dark shades

     Longing to be seen

     Rising hopes

     Expanding and collapsing

 

     2nd day

 

     Gold in Taiwan

     Silver in bars

     Copper on Venus

     Iron on mars

     Nothing so precious

     Nothing so right

     As the blood pumping

     Through my heart

     Day and night

 

     3rd day

 

     Lovely long scripts

     So easy to write

     Flowery words like:

     Avarice and spite

     Long vowels

     Like rivers of old

     Bypassing the mind

     Going straight

     To the soul

 

     Right

 

     Rights and wrongs

     Short and long

     Good and bad

     Happy and sad

     Everything dual

     Opposing the world

     Man against woman

     Boy against girl

     Everything worldly

     Tears us apart

     Like the division

     Of mind and heart

     What we can see

     Is not what we get?

     Peace to the future

     This might be it

 

     -D
