I fall in love with the day
as I walk past these hours
sitting idle by my minutes
I live each moment
to instil this love
in my routine
to stay intact
with me
I fall in tune with my love
I eat whatever grows
on my soil
while I tend to this love
in tune with my soul
the day I am in love with
cuts a piece of cake
each morning from the dawn
for me to relish and devour
I celebrate this love
each day through
the tears and smiles
of longing
of moments lived
to laugh at the absurdity
and continuity
of this life
I laugh aloud
on my audacity to fall in love
with my day
over and over again…
