New Years Writing
Posted on 02. Jan, 2008 by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume Two
It was Monday morning,
which everyone wrongfully considered
as the first day of the week,
even when it was the last day of the year.
Like a virtual pessimist,
it is considered a day half over
a time when we need our coffee,
to begin everything, including our waking.
Would we describe the minute we rise,
as the ending of our lives?
to become humorously ironic
as we laugh and ask why?
One day we dare,
when we dream of desire
another hour we share,
When we witness midnight fire.
