alarm clock dawn

Posted on Apr 20th, 2009 by Eric : Poet/Author/Entreprenuer Eric
   

Focus is hazed as

wing-tip dreams come calling

softly, persistently

those starches seams

of material obsession


trite expressions that seem

to echo so endlessly


I've left it all behind this time

left it all behind in my mind


The alarm clock dawn

methodical  in it's wringing,

starving, stealing time

so stealthily that you hardly notice

until one day you wake up faded,

to a jaded, gaunt and hungry hue.


I've left it all behind this time

left it all behind in my mind


So this is how it feels to be free?

To be set adrift like some Coltrane riff

When need's an endless song


Can't tell you where I'll be tomorrow

I may be drawn back into the

Yawn of the alarm clock dawn

Balance is my only hope to end up

Somewhere in the middle......
