If today

were a holiday

it would still remain

364 workdays

live to work

rather than 

work to live

and forever is 

too long

to work

and too little

to play

I dream 

of the day

in which

it all

goes

quiet

forever



Prompt of day one: to write a poem inspired by an Emily Dickinson verse. I chose 'forever might be short'. I love Emily Dickinson's work but the mood of the day is time... speaking of, onto the next!
