Monsoon Madness
Like
Broken thumbs
on jungle drums
the mind benumbs in time,
incessant beat
beneath the sheets
of pouring rain aligns
the monsoon with the swelling pain
of never going home again
I feel the rhythm in my brain
I'm soon to lose my mind
The cargo floats
on past the docks,
the vessel takes a thousand shocks,
the universe around us rocks,
we're waiting for a sign.
Some transient message
in the air,
some sanctifying that you care,
we've taken all that we can bear,
It's not that faith is blind,
It's just this everlasting night,
is filled with horrors
burning bright,
our hearts can't take another fright
or hope is left behind.
reach out a hand and help a friend,
out of the dark ,
where we have been,
it's been a year
since I fell in,
the choice therefore..............
is thine.
