[AI generated image]

 Daylong 

wishing it was still yesterday

i closed tightly shut my today

in daydream


at times the dawn is late coming

with herald birds sweetly singing

it's daylight


wings flapping in pairs and in threes

flocks fly high above the tall trees

look! daymoon


lingering still amidst the clouds

sentient being yield to clouds

at daybreak


gratitude is all  that we need

nourish our thoughts for this seed

through daylong.
