Just For One Day... Poem by Eric Cockrell

Just For One Day...

Rating: 5.0


just for one day...
let's forget about the struggle,
the battle to survive and be free.
the endless turmoil, suffering,
and all the problems we face,
forget about saving the world...

and go lay naked on a blanket
beneath an old tree,
making slow sweet love
while the sparrows watch...
and listen to the coming
and going of the tide,
the turning of the earth
in each other's heart.

tomorrow, back to the fray!
today, come with me,
just for one day!

This was quite beautiful. Even in my young age (haha) there are times where I need to just cut loose, forget things, and concentrate on living and enjoying my family. :)

This poem takes me back about 40 years Eric. Of course it applies to all times but thank you for the memories. Great write.
