I Am Tired

a poem by thenorm

i am tired.

there is

Too Much;

my neverending

Maelstrom.

and, so long ago,

a child looked beneath my eyes

and eons away,

they promised me.

i am tired.

overwhelmed by tomorrow

and decades ago,

a pale, limp rose

crashed by my feet

and centuries later

we fought

for Peace.

now, as the yellow sun

leaves behind

traces of red

filter through grey.

this world,

this universe,

no longer mine.

o dear God,

i am tired.

let me pray

for Peace

and

to find my way

Home.
