Cloudy Day


Across the ocean I see the light,

Beneath the moon I stand.

Beyond the shore, searching, wondering about the task at hand.

Off along the horizon it all seems so clear.

Inside my mind I find the answers, hidden, yet so near.

Up above my empty dreams keep swimming through my head,

Within me, holding on to the thoughts that I have shred.

Without a care in the world I march on with my life,

And with all the cards laid down on the table,

I look on past my strife.

Behind my shadows I sit looking at the stars--

Daydreaming, with visions of worlds afar.

Against the leaning backdrop I watch it drift away--

Before me, Promises of a Better Day.
