Just One Day Poem by Gianfranco Aurilio

It won't be the desert
that burns my core
until a sole tear
trickles out of my eye
and dampens my heart.
It won't be a thunder storm
that sweeps away my dreams
because just one tree will be enough
to hold me tight
and keep me from flying away
nor will the storm ever be able
to drown my soul
because I have an ocean
full of rocks
to which I can cling
but just one day without you
would be enough
to make me afraid of life.
