Godot Still Hasn't Come

Thu, 02/06/2020 - 19:48 -- mer-kat

This time I'm alone

In familiar surroundings

I am able to tune it out

While the radio is still tuned in,

And I can hear the TV from the living room

And I look up to the sky

And I say Wow

 

Ever noticed how the Moon and the Sun and the Earth are always in the presence of each other?

Then it comes

 

You think just because the moonlight

Comes from the Sun the Moon has no right

But up there in the sky

They share the same space

So why can't you n' I?

 

Then I go to sleep

But then my eyes fly open

and I don't pray to keep my soul

I give my thanks and say my sorrys

and go.
