Today - Scott O'Brien

[Larry Robinson]

Today

When you're allowed
To live
When you might have not,
You change forevermore

Become at once
Older
And younger
Than before

Gingerly you try
Your wings
Find that you can
Fly

And horizons
Of the nether world
Bring light
Back to your eyes

What you'd gnashed
With scorn and
Spittle
Only yesterday

Gentles softly in your
Gratitude
To be alive
Today.

	- Scott O'Brien
