The Night Grows Weary

The night grows weary
          and so do I
    It seems not to matter
        how hard I try
     The river's run dry
 Its waters need to replenish...

   As I fade in to their steam
  May they grant my last wish

Oh, how well your imagery captured the depths of that gray feeling - great penning and if you were truly feeling that way when you penned this gem, I hope you've managed to change your channel. A wow of a write, Gershon. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Tom, hope you're not still waiting for that rain. As for me, I'm too impatient. I just turn on the shower and go to sleep. LOL. Thanks, Gershon
