Today Only

Once again

the daybreak sang

throwing sunrays

at my eyes

to breathe in deep 

the morning air

First lights golden

morning prize

Hearing faintly

distant city sounds

feeling movement

in the air

Standing quietly

by the kitchen bar

filling coffee cups

to share

This now 

may never call again

But if it does

I will delight

drawing curtains

open windows wide
once more
I beat the night
