Another Day

a repost

Sun beats down

heating concrete and tar,

making leaves green

so plants can thrive,

bringing natural beauty

for the world to see.

 

All these wondrous trees

helping protect from the heat

and bring a magical lifeline

allowing mankind to live

with the gift of breathing.

 

This little café

filled with busy people

talking and laughing,

phones are ringing,

sounds of silverware

and plates clinking.

 

The street is crowded

with rush hour traffic,

horns keep blowing while

reading lips of people cursing

just trying to get somewhere.

 

Peace and quiet

engulfs this old house

except the evening news.

talk of politic, religion,

people, sports and weather;

Some good, some bad.

 

Alarm clock set

as I get tucked into bed

dreading hearing that sound

to signifying another day

of work will begin.

 

No doubt that life has gone on

since you have been gone,

So maybe now its time…

 

I give it a try.

Ahh, nice surprise ending. Haunting. Good stuff.

This is good! The ending was a twist! I liked this a lot. Your descriptions are so vivid. Great work!

Oh wow. Ohhhh.... the ending caught in my throat. Not what I expected.

This is fantastic. And heart breaking yet understood by those of us (most of us) who have lost a loved one.
