Day Dream's Metamorphosis

Watching the day sulk into the arms of night,

I turn lonely palms over, letting them sit

on bent knee.

Crushing calm surrenders to 

music's indifference;

soaking in quiet roar. 

Another day is burnt,

black sky wonders

with me.

We pry together;

wash the murk 

of suggestion,

cleanse the

bitter taste of 

what could have

been;

Alive in the sound

of day dream's 

metamorphosis.

Gentle beams of

our ancestor's gaze

light the way. 

I can feel the world 

turn it's back.
