Why long for the good old days?
Embrace these days.
Now is the day that you
should be holding on to.
Let us toast with warm wine.
Be unafraid to
hold on to this day.
Let us share it together.
The fire is breathing.
The incense is spreading.
The past years are gone.
Take comfort in today.
Blackberry petals fall
from the edge of the sky.
They fall to the ocean
for you and me.
Raise your cup of wine.
Keep it filled to the rim.
Open the doors
and let the sun come in.
As the sun declines
the shade fills the sky
and the fragrant plants
rest in the garden.
