Stars glinting off the

The peak of human invention

#DailyPrompt
So we worry like old men
On the road to night again
Wondering what the dawn will bring
Will we hear the lonely blackbird sing
And then the heart beats a skip once more
as our dreams falter
Complex systems crowd our minds
Light penetrating through the blinds
Nowhere safe to settle down our thoughts
No reprise to high ethereal courts
And so we close our eyes to the blinding light
and slowly we falter
Solid waters chills our bones
Sitting in the orange cones
Going nowhere on this winding road
Never understanding the blinking code
So we ride on ignorance and bliss
and never alter
In response to the daily prompt Bliss
#DailyPrompt, #amwriting
Splosh
And a little erosion
Helped on
By little hands
Joy is free
