Aching Nights and Hopelessly Sad Morn

Aching Nights And Hopelessly Sad Morn

Aching nights and hopelessly sad morn
my life torn, ripped and nailed;
each day dark hours sliced and dice,
misery applauding as I failed
not once nor even twice but thrice!

Each day, worries eat into this fate
watered soup- soul needs more;
so lost, lost as three blind mice,
this aching heart dares score
as if my deep pain does not suffice!

Dare I question my dark lot in life
In ashes pray a blessing sweet;
nay, such a supplication reflects,
forlorn spirit admits defeat
epic moaning that never connects!

Tomorrow hints at miracles to come
fine ship, vast oceans to sail;
winds blowing, waters calm and blue,
relief given from a dark hell
a destined pilgrimage seeking you!

Robert J. Lindley , 10-03-2015

Oh and Thrice? I thought the meaning was " One whom takes three servings of rice at Chinese buffet" LOL

Hi Robert, another classic, well done, I like how the last verse, hints at things turning around, and then again, maybe not! Fantastic! I was going to rate this a "thrice" in fun, but we all know its A7!!!
