Another day can make some difference

by Jonathan Beale / September 11th, 2016

Until the sun seals the moment
The moment the day broke
Listening before still dawn
Wanting the day to pass over

There was a black, black cloud
From which grew a mountain
Out of the diminishing clock
Seeing them hauling
Themselves against the light
Bracing the cold Spring air
Treading the air; threading ground
To sea then threading them together.
Once the weight was lighter
And strangely realising
Another day can make some difference
