Anew

By Annie Catherine

What good is it

If it does not carry a number

I cannot count your days

Seconds long after a roll of thunder

You are sweet and you are good

Had you come from the sea

There on that shore

For a many I would have stood

Although it sparkles a most ravishing blue

Why must the rain keep tab on its unlucky due?

Are you only good when you are new?

Or might a lifetime of rich longing

Forever change the taste of your sweet dew
