Day's Covered Eyes Lyrics

The day's covered eyes
glare back through
frosted pains of glass
lonely they stare – sad
my empathy reaches out
hopes reflected in muddy puddles
that snuggle a grassless earth
brown muck colored
tear stained
The greens are not a green
the grays are grayer
night is always closer
staying partly overtime tired.
clouds overhead duck
and weave about the cold breezes
smells of places never seen
dance and fly
orphaned
The greens are not a green
the grays are grayer
night is always closer
staying partly overtime tired.
my soul's shadow sits out
this dance of usual lifting
when my spirit soars
above dainty little things
of the heart, depressing.
even ponds sit apprehensive,
shrugging here and there
white fingers pointing
to clouds as they pass ducking.
cool pains of glass
reflect me thru a curtain
this sad still day
out of breath
trying to hug back.
