And so it goes on---
The Vicious Circle.
To escape the days battles
I welcome night's embrace,
lose myself in darkness
all problems to erase.
Let darkness banish conflict
bring me thoughts sublime,
bring my world to rest
still the hand of time.
Alas, darkness hides the clock
not the pendulum in my mind,
anguish, swinging backand forth
measuring relentless time.
Until, at last!
Night, fleeing dawns advance
surrenders to the light;
consciousness grasps the moment,
another day, another fight.
