Run-down

If one can’t hear the birds chirping,
Find the trees lack lustre,
The sky far and away,
The teasing wind a bother,
Repose,
If the elders out for a morning walk fail to inspire,
The gaze never rests,
The breath isn’t deep, thoughts aren’t sure,
And the pigeon is just another bird dirtying your porch,
Stay with the unrest for a moment longer,
If the heart doesn’t feel,
The head is off to scheme,
The body screams fatigue,
Sleep precious little,
Love, a dream,
Stand still,
Life’s about to run you down,
Get out of her way,
Sit by the road and watch her pass by,
You won’t miss much,
Happiness they say is no ones to take.
