Gazing out the window at the moon
And the shadows playing on the lawn;
Picturing a different world below,
Wishing that a wish could make it so;
Seeing that the day is coming soon
Knowing dreams disperse with light of dawn.
Gazing out the window at stars’ light,
Watching as they fade with brightening sky.
The dark now disappears where hopes did hide-
Wishing to push back the lightening tide
To keep the sun from killing my good night,
But on he marches causing her to die.
Looking through the window at the dawn
As sunrays paint the sky in joyous pink;
Knowing soon the melancholy blue
Will wipe the sky of any rebel hue
To mute the highlights playing on the lawn
And drown my soul in heavy azure ink.
Looking through the window with a yawn,
Still awake from one more sleepless night.
See the world awake to this new day-
A torturous repeat of yesterday.
Dreams and hopes now breaking with the dawn;
All looks worse in morn’s revealing light.
Drawing shades to ward against that light;
Chasing shadow hopes in darkened room;
Trying to find solace in the gloom;
Praying for a quick return of night.
