When Thoughts Wander Poem by John Sensele

When tides rise and fall and tears roll
Because the apple of the eye fled
Leaving a forlorn heart screaming in a shopping mall
It's time to put dejection sentiments to bed.

When thoughts of self destruction come to the fore
To cast a dark pall on a serene scene
Bathed in suits and outfit that can't bore
Any caring soul, it's time to keep matters lean and clean.

When loneliness becomes the only friend
Who understands and cleans up sands
Beneath the heartbroken's feet and sets a trend
Steeped in positivity, it's time to recruit new bands.

When night falls too soon and the moon
Runs away from skies populated by stars
That sing and shine so bright, it's a boon
To behold and time to repair traces of romantic scars.
