VERSES I: In Solitude

In Solitude
by
Oceanne

 

Keep it pouring, do not stop

Cold tears from heaven

I have yearned so much

Let me miss the sun rays

For a day or two

Let me have my winter

And frosted summer dews

Perhaps the soul inside me

Aches for a deep slumber

So solstices may come

To drive me awake

Sleep now, close thine eyes

For eternity is but short

And this world can never be mine

This short poem was written sometime in 2004

while sitting in one of the cold, open Drafting Rooms of  USCTC.
