Michael McGuire A Day Went By
A DAY WENT BY
© Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.
A day went by and the whole of the world lost the balance of it’s axis,
and created the flood of feelings that find me drowning in isotonic
oceans, since you have been gone it may as well be a thousand years,
for the distance is so impassable and instantly eternal, my words just
alphas and omegas and the surrogate of my pain, I now face the world
with a different face since you’ve been gone, when it used to take only
your presence to make me strong, but a day went by and you were
gone and now the world is an empty stranger, and I; who am so much
a part of your being; am left without your laugh, everyday I fall forward
into the indifferent arms of this wicked guardian, no longer creation’s
darling; now just another mouth to feed, and numbed by my faculties
of sense and their inability to process the absence of your love, talk
just bouncing of the walls of my empty rooms, trifles of breathing
seem labors of dead language mathematics, and though I too will
someday join you in that lost civilization of dust, this is of little
comfort to the agony of the flesh, now the push of this self-serving
river meets no resistance, as I’m carried apathetic; and emptied to it’s
ocean of oblivion, while you are returned to that silence you had,
before a day went by and you were born, I will tend and tinder your
unfinished business here, I am your ghost, I will haunt those regions of
the world that you left undiscovered.
I think upon things casual and of consequence, and all bares the same
fruit of smiles, sighs and world giving embraces, and that is what it
meant to have a father such as this, to be a man; to be fearless; to own
the world, as my woes rattle for lifetimes and eons, and my thoughts
live their anonymous lives and suffer their public executions, the
intangible tragedy of my holy host of feelings, finds only tears for it’s
true mode of being, and I still wait for that day to go by; that doesn’t
find a tear in my eye.
