Poem 681
Eyes peering through the door
The TV I do ignore
Days turning to years
A new wrinkle appears
People come and gone
Still feeling all alone
Seasons pass by
With grief, I start to cry
The house has become a cage
Trying to fight the rage
I begin to brood
As I try to find some solitude
Clouds floating in the sky
Watching a bird pass by
Bright sunlight uplifting
My mood begins shifting
I hear the birds singing
A telephone as it's ringing
Simplistic wonderous works of the Lord
No amout of money can afford
The day's burdens wiped away
Head bowed, silently I pray
