Sentinels of Sorrow
Releasing my anguish is not that easy
standing two hours away from day break
I feel far removed from sleep;
The lamp posts on the island are sentinels of sorrow
and just like me they are afraid to blink ;
I get the feeling that every thought has been thought ,
and even though I fought the good fight,
I cannot seem to express my deepest sorrow
not even to God above;
I'm afraid I missed the stars tonight, and soon
the sun will rise and I'll be still sitting here ,
by my computer waiting....
