The Day Started As It Ended

Just wrote this as I try to sleep and let some words escape! :) It's all true as well :-p

The day ended as it started

Utter silence from the streets

Not a peek from the pigeons

not a stomp from the feet

of the people living above me

for today they have been out

I know because I’ve been relaxed

(and I’ve heard no-one shout)

 

The day started in complete silence

It was somewhat bizarre

The church bells stayed muted

There were no roars from the cars

They usually drown the world below me

And spit out toxic wind

So I opened my window

And didn’t breathe Western sin

 

I am now about to rest where I started

From this day that’s lasted long

I took photographs and wandered

Through the thoughts of right and wrong

So now I find myself in the middle

Of sleep and half awake

And I curse my own temptation

Of too much caffeine, sugar and cake

This piece is splendiferous! no but on a serious note, I loved it Dan. especially the western bash..."And spit out toxic wind

So I opened my window

And didn't breathe Western sin" not sure if that was meant about the U.S. but still loved it. I also found the ending to be very comical, and I can relate as every writer needs a good cup of joe to get anything out at all. I found a wonderful spot recently by my aoartment which sells the most devine cup. If you ever cross the pond you should wander over to 'san marco" COFFEE...infact Im heading there...now. xo -D.E.

I really loved your imagery and the rythym to this piece. Especially the last stanza, which almost possessed me to tap my foot as my eyes went over the words. Really awesome write!
