Crepuscular rays
Dancing in the evening air
Enlighten our hearts

That overworked, unbearable feeling
A malaise, an inability to comprehend
The misunderstandings of normalcy
The attack on the body and mind
Carelessly and haphazardly tossing
Any bit of sanity into an abyss of black
An empty hole, where darkness overtakes
Your eyes, battling to remain aware, losing
Drifting off into a common nightmare
Replaying again and again, skipping
Like a broken record, struggling
To gain an even ground, never
Finding the way to regain, the vigor
Of energy dissolved, you breathe
Beaten down, until you collapse
From the weariness of trying
To defeat the undefeatable

Legend has it, he’s watching you
Hiding in the verdant hue
Of leaves and flora, a hanging limb
That gather round, disguising him
At first you think, it’s just a stone
That lines the path, up to your home
Until you take a closer view
There’s someone looking back at you
Stumbling backward, up the hill
You notice that he’s staring, still
You shake your head and blink your eyes
But this really comes as no surprise
To see a soul, though inanimate, it’s true
Rocks have feelings, they most certainly do
Author’s Note: Hubby spotted this rock looking back at us the other night. It has been there for years, 26 to be exact, and we never noticed the face. I wonder who it could be watching over us ❤
