Doldrum daze

Ever had a doldrum day

When no one comes to play

When bills outstay

Your small payday

When nothing left spells fun?

Your mother died.

Car engine fried.

So many tears lodge

Somewhere.

A doldrum day

I’ve got to say,

Allows for deep, dark

Musing.

Where shall I go?

I’m old and slow.

My golden glow

Descending.

Still I’m not done

In you, my chum

I see a dawn

Ascending.
