Mourning Star

Shivering in Winter sun another day is yet begun The frequency of years indecency of tuned in tears The ever pounding ever hounding Surf of desperation hurling back the fears Squinted eyes ‘gainst sun and wind gone to face another day With some faint hope to light the way and justify existence Reality is hard to face as yet it spins in frantic pace To hold on tight to trees and space And wonder at a human race that’s losing touch and losing face in miscreating procreating senseless supplication To heedless gods at useless odds in absent contemplation Is all eternity a joke A trick with mirrors words and smoke A blast in time for grander folk than we Who fear to see? Looking at eternity like hungry mice at holy cheese Across a cat filled room
