Beneath Somber Skies
i stand
beneath this somber sky
lost in the depths
of its misty eyes
sharing my tears
in this new year
dawning upon me
uncolored
unfocused
like these thoughts
of finding love
along life's road
i feel abandoned
like the old house
on the hill
ready to crumble
back to the dust
from which it came
its weakened frame
weathered in years
stands unsteady
unsure of its fate
as days move by
in slow lonely waves
of years passing by
like onlookers
staring in disbelief
where beauty once stood
but now lingers
empty inside
lost in the same depths
as i beneath this somber sky
