Autumn Rain

Autumn Rain

Woke this morning
To discover
That my heart was
Beating still

Still, amid the
Silent morning
Bargaining with
Mind and will

Will I ever
Know the comfort
That I knew in
Days gone by?

By the window
Drops are streaming
Gentle Autumn
Starts to cry

Morning, Morning

Daily Nightmare

Morning, morning on my brain
Listing out my daily tasks;
Frantic, hectic, and insane
Questions that nobody asks

Morning, why the weight of care?
Time is fleeting as the tide;
Night, I hope to see you there
Safely on the other side

Morning, morning, will it be
This way each and ever day?
Is this just my destiny?
The toll I must forever pay?
