Waiting for good news...

Waiting for good news

With forlorn tired and drooping eyes

That struggle to see past the blurring gaze

I’ve waited for autumn to creep by

Early sunsets in smoky haze

As days shorten, i get wistful with strife

Restless, heavy shoulders I feel I’ve had

it seems daylight is dying, choked for life

by the night, pain and darkness sad

I’ve waited for cheer from something

Maybe a few lines, Uplifting news

Or people sharing some tale of happiness

Joy, warmth and lovely views

I wait and wait but little comes this way,

Wait until dusk, wait until lone

Wait until all i can do is shrug my shoulders

And scurry back home.
