The day smiled
It smiled on all creation
In the midst of these sullen days
We had found cause
To be happy
It was a leap into the light
But everyday before we punctured that tarp of gloom
One pop at a time
Pop, pop, pop and punch
We pounced into the other side
Filled with relief and expectation
The light
Not blinding but shy
Like the blush of dawn
Or the tint of gloaming
It felt soft ...
