What A Day! ! !

The cock crows
The chick blinks
The bat winks
The clock winds
We wake and stretch
Breathe and yawn
Creatures of habits
Old habits shaken off
New ones involuntarily worn
Round and round we go
Today, yesterday's son
Today, tomorrow's dad
Today, today's baby
The blind seek the rainbow
The deaf, a deafening crescendo
The sad seek a foreign land
Where water is not tears
Today begins with all actors in motion Some are bullets in a china store
Breaking lives as they breathe
Some are spectators in a soccer game
Watching others achieve their goals
Some are sleeping seas
Waiting for waves to blow the way
Some give gravity the finger
And take a walk off the earth's edge
Indeed all go and all do
In 24 hour-glass spins all are done
The night falls again
Taking those whose days
Have reached their number
The day swallowed the stars again
The night led the sun astray
The rain turned the sand to clay
The storm raged and aged away
The dusk asked the night to stay
The darkest dark invites the dawn to play
The cock hears their laughter
Knows it's time and stretches its neck
The dawn breaks the day again
From life's first cry to death's final silence
The cock crows
The frog croaks
The boy grows
The day breaks
The cycle continues
And life as we know it...goes on.
