Careless Concern

You and I Drifters across the sands of the eye And in our being we carry This salt of life like bungled cloth Too tattered for a sail of dream And neither give two hells If the early morning rain will dissolve first Life in a puddle drained to its sea Or the sandy castle of the eye Besieging me. Day's wind blows carelessly And you and I Concerned carelessly Tremble with undisclosed anxiety Victims and voyagers forging through The early morning rain My rain comes early before I planted I had nothing to grow anyhow It is too barren Where love blows dry as dust And if it comes The early morning rain still dissolves all trust And tears make solution To neither wind nor sea The wind is a drifter just like us Make no coffee for me With grains of early morning rain Early Morning Rain

as per contest rules, the title of song picked must be listed at the bottom of your poem ( even if obvious to me), great job by the way
