Poetry: Wishing for quiet

by admiller

Created on: May 11, 2009

Eyes Closed
Sleeping out the solitude of endless night
Dreaming away problems accrued through light

Eyes Opened
Wondering what happens beyond closed window
Whirring blades grinding what tries to grow
Men dressed in the color of their prey
Whacking precious life away

Eyes Wide Open
Staring through small slit in closed shades
Watching green patches slowly razed
Rising sun stops the whirring blades
Silence returns; noise fades

Eyes Closed
Seeking out last moments of precious sleep
Waking to the wretched alarm's beep, beep, beep
