I lie trying to read, but my heart maunders
as the rain taps at my red eyes window pane.
The loneliness niggles as my mind ponders.
My spirit empty as the hourglass shatters.
God give me silence from the weight grip of pain.
Bleakness devouring days lying in tatters;
music of my soul evaporates like smoke.
Unsought tears finally run somewhere and drain
in between the illness of old age to choke.
Where are the children I use to entertain?
