I Am Alone

The sound of birds Resound like musical rhyming words Melodic tunes Sung throughout the late afternoon Do those birds know what they do? Would the still sing if they knew? I am alone As the sun begins to set Alone I smoke a marijuana cigarette The sweet smoke surrounds my head All of the daydreams have up and fled The nighttime comes to take their place Its cool arms wrap me in a tight embrace It’s not long before I go to sleep My last memory causes me to weep I am still alone
