Flying Back To The Dirt

Please press hard for a reason
For the no-trouble days to fade,
Please pursue the past season
When the mooon was full and stars bright.

Call out in the dark
So the Sun can answer
But for now...

This night is ours
Left to dark towers
Tiers of thought in yesterday,
Keep us raining down
Our hearts on the ground
Burned up in fires of yesterday.

Quietly call out to the feeling
Something that fades like today,
Quickly call out your meaning
And maybe I'll win the fight tonight.

Whisper in the sunset
So I can answer
So for now...

This night is still ours
Left in the late hours
Tears of thought in yesterday,
Keep us raining down
Love to those bright frowns
Burned up in fires of yesterday.

And if we paint the town
With colors fromt he Sun
Maybe time will balance itself
And stand still for a moment.
If I left you high in my mind
With the things that you do
Then maybe you'll balance yourself
And stay here with me for a moment.

This night is ours
Trusting a few hours
From peers of yesterday,
Keep us praying now
Tired heads bowed
Only lifted by thoughts of today

Man, its hard to reply to all your poems, simply because I always want to say the same thing... Damn.

I liked this one a lot though.  It's different from your normal style, broken up into stanzas and everything.

Nice job with it.
