Waiting On The Deluge

 

The wind is tropical how odd for the 1st day of October

          And I'm waiting for the deluge just wishing it was over and

I may be leaving soon never coming back again and It'll be

when the leaves have fallen scattered in the wind

I'm waiting in the darkness and doubt is staying over oh I'm

waiting for the deluge in the wee hours of October and I

wish I were a young man but I know those days are over

and I'm sitting in the dark just waiting for the thunder and

I'm hoping that the deluge won't drag or pull me under and

I'm waiting for the deluge just knowing that it's over

                                   Leaving November

and the darkness like an endless tunnel

wishing for the light entering

approaching ennui

trying to stay awake

losing that battle

the trees have given up

defenses gone as I need a reason to

make sense of it all
