Summer Night Blues

A million broken thoughts run in my head

like a broken mirror atop the water;

many voices, i don't know what any said.

i know i dream alone - i see no other.

Thoughts of rain splashing in my hair, on the ground.

Music running, heart racing, night bellowing.

Unbearable is all of this mental sound,

but there are no signs i see of mellowing.



i want

to float,

but all i can do

is sink further

down, down,

down

from happy peace

to chaotic panic.



Blessed is the Juniper with songs of love;

Mademoiselle is beautiful beyond belief.

Yes, sounds of Donovan drift down from above,

providing a chaos that's almost relief

right with colors, Doctor Who, and hot weather.

Not a time for study - got the summer blues,

a disease i think won't soon get much better

for i know mind, heart, and soul must pay their dues.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I guess that's sort of random, but I sort of enjoyed writing it while listening to Donovan.  Wanted to write, but couldn't think of anything to write.
