Rain falls all night long into darkness of early morning
Before dawn attempts to displace loneliness with light
Wake you from your deep sleep beside me
Unaware I stared at the ceiling all night long
Unable to give into sleeps gentle persuasion
Tossing and turning, too hot and too cold
Listening to the rain on the tin roof
Listening to the dog breathing at the foot of the bed
Contemplating life’s meaning, my own sense of being
Something or someone, anything at all
Stardust in my eyes
I am billion year old carbon
Lines from an old song
How long ago was that?
Why are we here?
Where’s the connection?
Rain still falling at 5 A.M.
I could use a cuppa coffee

Personal, existential, philosophical and matter-of-fact- this one shot an arrow of connection to my heart. Those all night/early morning introspections can seem like they stretch on into forever.
The dust from a distant sun,
Showers down on everyone
( a song from NZ band, Crowded House)
Another touching poem from you, Merry.
