The Contemporary Smoulder
It was that day, some may say,
t'was full of disarray,
only the pale sky of the town was in play,
the year was gone,
passed by like wind,
but with that came a fresh new scent,
the one of joy and that much evident,
a brand new season,
the past was make away,
only now was a new dawn,
for the days passed and times older,
for this was the contemporary smoulder.
About this poem
