I wake, I eat I, sleep with you

You’re in my mind, my thoughts, my dreams

I share my table, my bed, my body with you

You’re with me morning noon and night

I can’t escape you

No matter how much

I want to©

on life’s tightrope

your arms outstretched

 

stumbling

through life’s darkness

End of Summer

 Gloomy mornings,

Dark nights,

Grey, damp days

Positivity’s a fight.

 

Frosty mornings,

Chilly nights,

Crisp, bright days

I feel alright.

lucky star

There’s a cloud hanging over me

Up on high

It won’t let me be

Stalking from the sky

I dream it is my lucky star

Above me all the while

Following from afar

Making life less of a trial ©
