Angry clouds,
sullen skies.
Imagining that I’m
another space and time.
Lost again,
questioning
the meaning of it all,
the life in everything.
Missed a turn,
lost the game.
Learned another lesson
and forgot my name.
It’s such a shame
these days,
we have so much information,
but don’t trust the questions,
begging for an intervention.
I’m amazed
at where we are
these days.
We know
the consequences,
but we act anyway.
In bad faith,
to betray
ourselves
again.
My mind lingers
on the darkness
on a dreary day.
There’s no escape,
but I’m okay.
It’s been a little while
since I could smile
at all this disarray.
A cup of coffee
and the rain
on the window pane.
A person
could go insane
trying to make
this world
make sense again.
Not who I am.
Not why I’m here.
I’m just looking
at the clouds
wondering,
why the sun
has disappeared.
