The day before

Today is the day before

The first day of revelation’s festival,

The day before the flood,

The day before roses found their purpose,

The day nightingales gathered to

Sing of Ancient Beauty in the moonlight.

The day before paradise’s garden reappeared.

Tomorrow, I will not go to the gym.

And will focus on the purpose of revelation,

Peer across the river at the garden

And listen for chanting

In the roaring of the flood.
