Literature Text

Rain comes down and down
And yet does not make a sound
The sky is so grey

Here I stand on broken knee
Gazing out over the wide open sea
With nothing left to say

All I want to do is keep you warm
Cover you up, keep you from harm
Just like when you were born

Road rolling to nowhere
No horizon far as I stare
Been too long a prisoner in here

Rocks and ice where I roam
Cold gnaws at my very bones
And yet I do not feel alone

All I want to do is light your life
Keep you gay and free from strife
As if we were man and wife

Will this sky ever break
And from this dream I awake
What will others of this make

Who am I to deserve this
To be given this special gift
A gift I can never part with

All I want to do is be your friend
Through day and night, through thick and thin
Until the very end
And then again...
I liked the way it grew out of the old haiku I used, but feel it somewhat mundane and unfocused
Like most of my life
