The day before yesterday was a sunflower day
a day where the world spun faster
and the people were smiling
and the sun was just warm enough
and the stars were so close you could
touch them with your fingertip
The day before yesterday was a sunflower day
Yesterday was a hyacinth day
a day where everything looked like art
a day of peace and calm
and of course, it would rain
and though you couldn't see the stars
a strange sweetness always lingered in your mouth
Yesterday was a hyacinth day
Today was a rose day
the beginning of it was beautiful
dew tipped flowers from yesterday
and pancakes in the morning
but
when you reached the evening you
touched the thorns and though you knew how they would hurt
you finger plunged deeper and deeper
and blood began to draw
but
even though rose days aren't always full of wonder
if you can feel in your heart that tomorrow will be better
then tomorrow just might be a tulip day
