ONE  MORE DAY PASSES


I don't long for the past that swings and rings

I don't care for the  future I colour

with empty wishes prayers and meditation


dreams dark inspiration carves the present

I suffer more at night than in the day

breathe hell seeking freedom in the body


through friends in spirit turn sanguine despite

the tricky degeneration in shared life

one more day passes   one more poem born
