In the light of day

Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)

In the light of day

Ventured in the light of day
Flowered meadows in still lit beauty
Shrink away our torrent rains

Lived as in its starting
Its fate within life’s closing
With ourselves and all around us
Light within its dark without

Force compelled for us to see
Enrapt amazed
To look around the world as is

As seed to air one seeks to find
All that to which it binds
Not to late but all to soon
To meet with joys again
