A Hazy Day

 

 

         

 

 

A Hazy Day

 

Thoughts keep echoing in my mind,

Over again and persistently.

Yet quietly, like a cow lowing

From a distant hilltop.

What are these echoes,

And what do they symbolize?

Are they of good tidings?

Nay.  Rather, of what doom

Do they precede?

Curiosity was once attributed

To feline destruction,

But does this fate girdle us all,

As walls encompass a village?

Do ersatz suns spawning

Artificial  greenery

Signify  our  extinguishment?

What is our destiny?

Yet, until the gears are worn down

The dark cloud will remain

Covering this gelid world.

But even so, a glimpse will be caught

Of the eye of this storm.

Yet, until the ninth hour,

What can be done

But to plod monotonously,

And to listen to the echos

Reverberating?
