Morning Ramble

I’m too tired to think too clearly

But my mind won’t let me sleep

With this emptiness inside me

And these promises to keep

Regrets and obligations

Occupy my thoughts and dreams

Clouding all of my horizons

Nothing’s ever as it seems

Where the restlessness of living

Robs the hope that once was strong

Looking only for some reason

And the strength to carry on

But the coldness all around me

Cuts so deeply to the bone

Am I too old to start over

Feeling lost and so alone

So, it’s one more cup of coffee

Running out of things to say

Looking for a rhyme with reason

Just to face another day
