Poem: Any Other Day

by Devin

On any other day
the covers would be pulled to my chin
and I would sleep the sun away
On any other day
my tears would flow from my cheeks
Niagra Falls with pools so deep
and I would cry my dreams away.
On any other day
the rain would fall steadfast,
pounding fists of the dead and dreary.
On any other day
the sky is dark.
I've seen the dim and dreary
tasted the decadence of the weak and weary
I've danced the storms impending fury
and stripped the leaves of love life's journey.
With every coming song I sang
I danced the dismal night away.
And with this silent tune I hum
I wait for the sun to play along.
