New Day Dawning

The alarm chimes,to signal another new day Get up,shave,shower,ready for the fray; Low,listless,muted, a bit downcast Dullness ahead,my mood overcast. I see the mundane,routine,run-of-the mill Feeling pedestrian,static, is the world's standing still; Hours of monotony,ennui,the tedious banal Soporific,wearisome yet seeking a rationale. Glipmsing a future,empty,featureless and humdrum My solid facade,is ready to succumb; In this odyssey,each day is a surprise Today's downturn brings,tomorrow's enterprise.
