One Way

The sun is lost to stardust Troubled mind at play Early morning dark hours Make it a long, long day Thoughts play on a seesaw Swings on oiled chains Merry-go-round is coming up Heads goes round the game Precious sleep evades me Monkey mind the way I seek for understanding Words from another day The hint of things amiss now And all is not the same No words that pierce the darkness Feelings guide the train Don’t want to be a fool here I’ve done that one before I see the den door open A rug lays on the floor I’m going to lie down now To find a mind of peace Put to rest these feelings I walk a one way street.
