"For a moment, she re-discovered the purpose of her life. She was here in earth to grasp the meaning of its wild enchantment and call each thing by its right name.” -Boris Pasternak

A poem and a picture to make the day right















why gloom for so long?
haven't the flowers bloomed?
children laugh, mothers woo,
the joy of two in their darkness,
create a light as we know,
have a smile, you sweet child,
we're going in circles
and his eyes misted over
but I've heard that its worth it
she said with a cigarette in her mouth
the second greatest cause of death
but you're alive among the graves
live in it, weeping girl
stay on the road and smile child
why down for a year long?
don't the newspapers drag us down?
newborns nurse, fathers kiss,
the joy of taste in a chocolate chip,
create sticky fingers to lick from,
take the picture and smile child,
hold on for love will come,
his hands fold over his cup of steaming milk,
groan for I've lost faith in love
she said as the table turned to her sex,
get back on the horse and smile child,
cause we know forever more
to see lovers make hope for the rest of us
might just be weird but good...
