-A Question-
have you looked upon the leaves for a stable set of trees
have you looked upon the wind for a chance to live again
have you looked upon the sun for what has begun
have you looked upon your heart for that start
maybe today will shed some light
maybe today yet not tonight
maybe today the sun won't shine
maybe today the clouds won't hide
can you say that you never heard
can you say you have no words
can you say chance doesn't work
can you say today is the worst
has it all been for naught
has it all been just to stay
did it all just happen today

I loved this poem!  

maybe today the sun won't shine
maybe today the clouds won't hide

Hmm... deep indeed.  Take care.  ~ Tara ~

This is a beautiful poem!  Liked the rhyme schemes and stuff.  I also liked the different points you made.  Seems to convey a carpe deim[sp] / make the best of every day sort of attitude.  This is one of those poems that depressed or bitter people should carry around with them, just to remind them of the other sides of life's story...
