That Day, This Day

the 16th of July was my birthday,
everything rushing by in blurs of orange and red.
i wanted only for that moment to stay
just to keep it, a memory in my head.

today that picture is all but gone
as my hands move slowly on these keys
but I realize that today, & the next, are a new dawn
and that thought alone puts me at ease.

no matter all the days that pass,
the trials and the tides I fight
i've come to terms with "nothing can last".
and you know? To me, I guess that's alright…
A poem for nycterent's napowrimo. check my other poems for links to it! :)
