Creeps the Day
Creeps the Day

Innocent the eyes that greet the morning,
eagerly drink the world anew,
unblinkered to the piercing light,
wide open to a hope revealed;
so the babe in gurgling wonder
swims in pristine future bright.

Wounded peeks through shuttered eyelids,
experience retreats into the dream.
