Monday Morning

 

Despair the drink of one too many, 

The walls now dreary, sticky stank

The years past noon now strike a chord

Now bitter more than karela melon

 

Early years the frangipani

Reflect inside decisions blank

A better life could not afford

 Floating on the river Thelon

 

Today the day to me uncanny

To see reflections on riverbank

To think that’s all we all abhorred

Time plenty strikes the clock eleven

 

I too seek answers in the cranny

Inside my mind I must outflank

I take control, I draw my sword

Sing, rejoice, break bread unleavened

Author's Notes/Comments: 

We all break bread at one time or another. Humility is a journey, a path to self discovery and contentment. Mending the chasms in our minds fosters humanity. This is what we should all aspire to.
