POEM FOR THE DAY

OUT OF DARKNESS
Grey clouds form like a dull sheen on the landscape
Droplets of rain cascade down like tears from a child.

Teeth clench to a bite, lips tight like a zipper
Thoughts in the mind trapped like a miner.

The world is closing in, the air collapsing like a balloon hissing stale oxygen.
The melody of the world has turned discordant like out of tune piano keys.

The harmony once enjoyed has been disturbed and replaced by a melancholy rhapsody.
Like a prize fighter laying on the canvas One must rise to the challenge of sanity.

Brave new worlds can turn ominously into pothole filled streets.
Navigating the ever changing roadmap to happiness, is fraught with wrong turns.

Waiting for a change that never comes leaves one vulnerable to any outcome.
Hunger for a quiet world, one of peace will feed the soul the nourishment it needs.

Pain is what makes you appreciate pleasure ,sadness joy, rain sunshine.
With a deep breath, and a firm hand a path to the light through the fog is visible.

Like a child, one step at a time, one day at a time, one dream at a time, grayness will turn to blue.....it's up to you
