a ramble

i forgot to fill the tub
so the bath was rather dry
forgot to pour the coffee
so i couldn’t open my eyes
should have stayed in bed
but it doesn’t
turn off the day
the tea
in a cup
leaves stains
no leafs to be read

the future
not wished in the stars
stated in the cards
dreading daybreak
no solutions found in bed

world wakening
dust off the layer
rust will decay
the plan
of action
read the cereal box
for directions
they never steer you wrong
fortified or not
whole milk
cold
cold
cold
preferred

that taste never leaves the mind
inclined to believe
reactions better received
when bubbly is served 1st
not last
melting the ice
rather than breaking boundaries
suffices
a perfect exchange of views
are you lost too?

are you caught in the ramble
of words & rhymes
lost time
better spent……………where

the rainbow is outside
the light is within
take on the tasks
they will not last
longer than the day

for here
i lay
the solution……….in bed
