Last Day
It is the last day of AprilWhere rain is falling
Where poets are celebrated
For what is a daily calling
Spring flowers are blooming
Blue peonies scent
Rose buds crimson ascent
Grass is greening
Where inspirations fervor
Appears when least expected
As if natures awakening pleasure
Has created a moment affected
By a time of troubled afflictions
New growth is a hopeful sign
That final attempts at deception
Are recognized as not benign
A last day of celebration
Showcases what is everyday
For writers creation
There is no last day
It is a forever paradigm
It is like walking on a bed of nails
Where stabbing pain delivers time
For speaking about travails
That morph into a language
Of thoughts cascading
Into urgent dissolution of baggage
That spew soliloquies engaging
An audience that listens
For elements of identity
Seek a type of christening
Into depths of creativity
In this compulsion
There is no last day
There is no convention
Where thoughts are put away
There is only the next day
