Close the door against pain,
whose cause is something
you can’t understand
when your life is so
full of love.
Still, the murky mood returns
time and again
to impede weary limbs
in trials too exhausting
for a fragile mind to feel.
At times it vanishes
with the dawn, to return
later, as the day’s journey
never slows for you to catch up.
Other times it opens your eyes with you
and haunts your every move,
never relenting so you can
just take a deep breath
and experience some
real fresh, free air.
