Today, today... oh! To keep today stored in a treasure chest.

Today, I am the bright red amidst the dead yellow. The bright blue brought up by the sun; the child born of space and stars. The elusive dancing life, laughing with the skeletal remains of the corpse of summer. Today, today I am the burning essence of my sky-parent, a swirling mix of fire colors, and nothing can drown my happy shouts! Not the frozen oceans deep with purple mysteries, not the white stacks of ice floating in their dense waters. Oh, that flaxen circle emanates blithe light like an infant filament, and I reflect every particle. My eyes are so filled, my legs are so merry, even in sleep I will not stop singing, skipping, ecstatic with the kinship that filters through the scattered empty branches of the trees and warms me to my soul. And oh, I will sleep smiling, with this jubilant heat in my heart, clutching today to my chest!

Yay, glad today was so fantastic ^_^

About the poem, I like it very much, more and more every time I read it. It's most obviously angry, hostile. But also I think she feels .. powerlessness and maybe sorrow? Regret? Maybe both.

Have you ever seen the movie Sylvia?
