new day

Torrent-rain never stops

The moment is held as Time
Ticks guardianship Luna to Sol
Pass between these turns

Mind travels guided by this heart
Sick of this unrelenting
Madness, feverish nightmares---

Her mem'ry etched undying

In this brief interlude
Our inner voice whispers timeless
Wisdom, this heart acknowledges

The truth: our longing she be here
In this moment's respite
Imagining peace with her

Remembering, wishing, draw strength,

This brief perfection is shattered
Peace is broken, an interlude
Nothing more but imaginings---

A buzz breaks seeming tranquil air,
Day's concerns unrelenting
Mind's ablaze--- trouble's brewing,

Like a roll call this Time Zone begins
To Old Country then New World
Takes us, attention they demand---

In Her Majesty's Kingdom's parlance,
Home-Office places their command---
They have family to keep,

Never ending, come flooding
Torrent-unrelenting
Sol's tour barely begun,

All in this shimmering light
We wish a true moment's respite
Longing for lasting peace with her

In brief imaginings tell her truth,
Is happiness too much to ask?
Voices from a thousand years

Timeless wisdom all remind
“Can you give, what you do not have?”
Never ending, come flooding

Torrent-unrelenting blanket
In this dawn we throw, Will,
Heavy heart our filled strength comes

We but a Lieutenant in this command
What more when Captain we be?
What more when Admiralty we own?

Is happiness too much to ask?

They all have family to keep,
We be but cannon fodder
Nothing to lose 'cept her,

Is a moment's respite too much to ask?

A buzz breaks seeming tranquil air,
Day's concerns unrelenting, Mind's ablaze---
A New Day, does the Old One ever end?
