A Dreary Day 2 Poem by Billy Loving

I watch the rain as it pours
I hear the dog as it snores
A mind so weary
Day so dreary
How pleasant it would be
If a rainbow, I would see
Maybe the sun will shine
A vision so clear in my mind
The TV's incessant sound
No solace found
Cook, clean, wash the clothes
A life they have froze
Living room so dark
On no journey to embark
A truck goes by
As I begin to sigh
From the floor, the dog does look
As my pen rises from the book
A treat from my hand, my dog has took
As I contemplate what to cook
A day with loneliness filled
A soul that feels so chilled
Another day in exile
As I struggle to find a smile
No message from the phone, not even a letter
To help my mind feel better
To a conclusion, the day does draw
As a vision, I just saw
A life with happiness and pleasantry
What a change that would be
In Allah my faith will be
A mind so free
As words to the page, I write
No sadness, does it incite
