Why not ?
Paul Quinton Aug 2020
It did not happen
    it would have happened
        it could have happened
            it should have happened
     but

It did not happen
longing for unrealized possibility

Morning
Paul Quinton Feb 2020
And why can morning not last all day,
All afternoon,
All night, then stay.

Morning bright and light
Clean and New
Clear and Slight
Brisk with Dew

Why must morning go away
Why can it not stay-
UnStolen by the rest of day
UnDrowned by dimming hours
UnBuried by blindness in the sway.

Why can morning never stay?

— The End —
