Not
for today
If
it wasn't for today
and
its lack of snow
falling
away into the salted ground
and
the East wind turning
its
back on the Western world
if
it weren't for the sea
in
its sheets burning
if
it weren't for the summits of trees
or
for their tough roots tunnelling
if
it wasn't for hope
represented
by Spring
if
it weren't for Thrush or Starling
if
it wasn't for the Summer of love
as
sure as the sun's shining
if
it wasn't for a day
inevitable
as today
if
it weren't for the boats
serenading
the bay
if
it wasn't for a day as likeable
as
today
I
would never have made it through
and
on to the coming moment
I
would have nothing to say
if
not for today
