woke up this morning
finding a tear just behind my eyes
a tear for memories not manifest
a tear for those that have slowly slipped away
slipped down life’s moving streets
across the seconds that pass
knowing that when your pockets are empty
dollars always fail to make sense
woke up this morning
with a smile just beyond my heart
a smile for joys not yet realized
a smile for those that have been possessed
fleeting moments
lucky enough to be found before they were lost
as the hands of the clock
walked them down the streets
to their inevitable end
woke up this morning
with a tear
a smile
behind my eyes
beyond my heart
wide open to the another day
slowly ticking away
dancing to the tune of the clickity-clack
not knowing if either one, which one
will break free to seize the day.
