Chapter 64

Silver Lining

We look all around
For the Silver Lining
Nothing can be heard
Beyond our own whining

All of life is empty and dull
Gone are things once shining
Our burdened mind into overload
Impossible thoughts combining

Each second soon gone forever
Our bodies and minds declining
Our bleeding hearts calling
For our true lover pining

Even alone and outside
Life's drudge is confining
Seeking impossible perfection
Our mind keeps redesigning

Finding never ending excuses
Character dissected like strip mining
Does it take a neon sign
To see the Silver Lining

Nobody
