Poem of the Day

Song Without Notes for the Shadows to Sing on the Longest Day of the Year

The blackbirds sulk, and the stars go blue
on the longest day of the year.

A woman walked by in a tattered gold suit
on the longest day of the year.

The tv sets all fade to gray
dim fireflies knit her name
the fading light will spark her eyes
on the longest day of the year.

On the longest day of the year
we sing, on the longest day of the year;
in the fading light, you'll lose your heart
on the longest day of the year.

The Cubs win the game in the top of the eighth
on the longest day of the year.

A jet flies by while the pilot sleeps
on the longest day of the year.

The tiger stirs in the fading zoo
while the monkeys shriek my name.
My mother stirs her tea to cool
on the longest day of the year.

On the longest day of the year
we sing, on the longest day of the year;
in the fading light, I'll lose my heart
on the longest day of the year.
