Is daylight holy?
I ask the blaring nightly festivities.
 
Is dream holy?
I ask the palm swollen with work.  
 
Is waiting holy?
I ask the pensive pensioners.
 
Is time holy?
I ask the footpath clock mechanic. 
 
I yearn for my answer
To be the festivity of work,
 
Without sighing, 
But making things work out.
