this day

oh day, like today
rain cloud, smothering wet blanket hanging over me
and the wind is a cold hand pressing against my cheek
forcing my face to turn, to look behind
and the ground tosses back and forth, seasick land
and my eyes are forced to fall on then...

oh green meadows, butterfly-induced happy trance among the flowers
bunny-laden copse of aromatic fronds and blooms and rocks
oh I do miss you

strong wings, invisible and yet always accurate carrying us along
finding spot then spot again, next destination freely soaring above
oh i do miss you

oh day, like today
rain cloud, smothering wet blanket clinging to me
and wind, cold wind, drenching water-cascading clouds
have mercy, leave me be...
today...

Penned by my hand on the 21st of Ero, in the year 305 AF.
