A Long Day's Night

In times when day has ended,

I simply can't go on

with energies expended,

my motivation gone

the mind begins to wander

so aimless as if lost

and deeply do I ponder

about the coming frost.

The topic's unimportant

in trash heap it is tossed

now everything's discordant

no matter what the cost

for miles the day's been ended

but in one place I run

oblivious, unintended

unknowing when I'm done--

just then I hear your voice, dear

say "stop and come to bed"

the stupor lifts as I hear

from heart and not my head.

So ends another long day

just snuggled close and mum

beneath warm covers we lay

with love, and more to come...

 

J. Sandy
