BITTER SHOW

I will measure the day
As a bird measures flight
Raindrops on windows
Frost in the night
I will remember such thoughts
When a calm day arrives
Wipe away tears
When the deep pain subsides.

In echo of hope
As it travels away
A ship in the distance
Or an unanswered prayer
Sunsets eye closes
Sunrise brings a smile
Upon the face of an infant
A wondering child.

Down by the beach
Waves move each in tune
The sand dunes nearby
The bright watching moon
Seagulls on high
Deep sea below
Emotion vibrates
In lifes bitter show.
