Useless Thoughts

Dark afternoon
light is blocked

Along the street
water streams noiselessly
falls into a hole
dwindles its time away

Winter is lonely

In prolonged sleep the shortest day
barely breathes
A somber gray
hangs in the air
the wind twizzles 

Looking out the window
time dwindles away
and thoughts pile up

My useless thoughts
that I store in notebooks
and drag through life
for no reason than
they are mine

Our time line in life our own moments treasured boring or active, good or bad, but that is what makes us who we are. I like the last line "They are mine"
