Dark Cloud On My Horizon
That dark cloud is back
yes, I feel it starting to drip
It's leaky contents is swelling
he's lost
again.
He works hard
he is never out of work
except, last month
weeks passed,
he's lost.
He had work
we breathed ealier
made plans
not to celebrate,
dig out.
After two weeks
they downsized
he is still six five
to my five six
I'm lost.
That dark cloud is backk
it's just hovering now
it's load is about to drop
hopefully not on my head
bucket anyone.
We are half a century
too old they say
not to our face
so, what are we to do?
live anyway. . .
