poem \"Inquietude\"

Inquietude --04.15.05 Friday--
happiness seemed to bubble around;
everything seemed to have its proper place unbound.
little things were left throughout,
but then it all began to crack.

like a light rain in the middle of summer,
it was a quick instant filled with many;
things felt right but were still tricky,
as evenings shift to night time scrounging.

slowly the rainfall did lessen,
as proper places were again rearranged;
night time's questions left leaves of doubt,
as the truth slowly began to sprout.

moisture evaporated as the sun beat down,
while once-- twice-- thrice properties were cemented;
once again left in the dust,
while the truth flourished on that doubt.

streaks of what used to be,
graced the ground between the hardened cracks;
left again to defend alone,
doubt ruled a once-peaceful mind.

night fell on a once-greener pasture,
when happiness was a laughing matter;
alone again wasted-- trashed-- used-- broken,
alone again to struggle hereafter.

greener grass may one day be found;
but hardened cracked earth covers this ground.
until another warm spring rain,
she gives in to the restlessness unbound.
