The Same

Tabitha J. Bryson 1973 (Indianapolis, Indiana)

Fearful dawn
I lie my head
no sound around
nameless dread...

Dreary night
listless long
without my love
lost his song...

Endless continuum
everyday after day
alone and grim
though I want it this way...

Quiet nights
angry dawn
to repeat the same
running along...

The sound anew
rains begin
thunder abounds
when will it end...

Hopefully not soon
glee the rain dance
my heart and my soul
a temporary trance...

Heavenly gift
slowly blows away
left me with a smile
monotonous anyway.
