Today is Okay

Today all is okay

Death stayed

deep in the black

Of the last funeral

And did not come forward

To make geese

push through the freckles

Of my smooth skin

With its cold breath

Today the sky

 is soft

And safe

All the souls

Have placed their blankets down for a picnic

None have booked a flight

And all I see

Is an angel

Peeking through

The opening of a cloud

To check on me

And she leaves

With her smile

Because I’ve got plenty

Because I am at rest

Because some days

Loyalty shines brighter

Than a cloudless sun

Stronger than the endurance

of a summer’s blazing day

And I can bask in it

With no burning risk

 And I can sing

all the things I love about it

And pluck every blooming chance

I once walked by

 with closed eyes

through a dreamy spring
