Elegy For Days Lost

 

Another day has come and passed

Left pain and sadness in its wake

The seconds, minutes, hours amassed

The sun will give the moon will take

The distant friends the loved ones lost

Amid the times of dread disease

Each family will count the cost

And curse the name of days like these

 

And yet the sky was clearest blue

I wrote a poem, sang a song

We danced together me and you

and talked and laughed the whole day long

We passed by others in the street

And noticed them unlike before

We went online our friends to meet

We valued moments, wanted more

 

Tomorrow is another day

The sun will rise and set again

Some will win and others will pay

Each loss rebalanced with a gain

These times will pass as others did

We may look back on them and say

We were alive we never hid

They could not take our dreams away
