January NineteenthA Poem by fearlessinHima poem about losing timeI lost a day a few weeks back It slipped right through the cracks Of time I think I found it again, in mask But want it cemented, at last, in rhyme. January Second slipped away And took, I think, a holiday In Greece. It returned before the nineteenth day Could entirely fade away In peace January Nineteenth, in Hong Kong last, Was awakened by the sun running its path Through sky And in Korea, the Nineteenth’s final blast Was marked by the sun’s setting wrath In flight After sunset came sunrise And yet somehow, to my surprise, It came: The second Nineteenth day did rise To mysteriously greet my eyes And wave. I lost a day a few weeks back It slipped right through the cracks Of time I found it here again, in mask And want it cemented, at last, in rhyme. © 2011 fearlessinHimAuthor's Note
