it’s an impromptu pain
the earth inside me cries to the blue sky
the black sky cycles by…
a nocturnal sun
diurnal moon…
they have fun
but it’s too soon
I’m always late
missed the train
I’m lost and drenched
in the pouring rain

i believe so… it’s in one of the lucy poems by wordsworth… the word has always fascinated me because of the way he used it…
“wrapped up in Earth’s diurnal course,
with rocks, and stones and trees…”

@rabbitollah: diurnal is including day & night; 24 hours; properly an astronomical/astrological term

...diurnal moon is the moon’s motion per day, my dear!!!...something like 13 degrees upon the ecliptic (the sun’s path)...
