The Day Is a Poem



Our day has ended.

We saw no one,

Our work finished,

Our thoughts free to run,

Though we heard their motors

And we heard their guns

Tearing through the valley

Of our big red sun.


Darkness comes up

Like smoke from the ground.

We know our works will perish

And will not leave a sound,

But still we had this day,

And each other for awhile,

And still we had our big red sun.

Our big red sun.
