"All is Not Day and All is Not Night" by Joe DiMino Ah! The spring! That thing of being new And flowery; Freely the scent So fresh, really mindless Of perfumes, And liberating colors Without pink-slaps of trying; No, youth needs know nothing Of the dying that went Before them They sleep through Such winter Theirs only blossoming Immediate to go Let them Enjoy the thaw And for now The earth keep Its secret, An inevitable withering Of all beauty Before the cold blessing Our late, whitening season Calls snow Let the children sleep To awaken slowly, naturally Sprouting without deeper reason For wellness they should be Adjusting to their surface own Not too quickly grown Forced and frantic Pushed into brightest light Realize all is not day And all is not night Leave a comment
