Making Belief

How do you hope for sunshine

when the night keeps coming

sooner in the day?

Will it help to close your eyes

and mumble nursery rhymes?

If you stare long enough at your dreams

will time stop and stare with you?

Better to keep following the rhythm

of laughing crows as they

sweep the sky clear of silence.

Only in their wake will

Autumn keep moving until

the light awakens again.
