THIS DAY

Away with it all
Take it away
The restless fearsome day
That vast wasteland

Of harshest light and cruel truths
Bewildered thought

Nothing learned
Nothing gained
Nothing taught
Troubles rise to fight with pain
Unbidden
Unwelcome
Swirling motion
Frenetic walk
Useless talk
Fear stalks 
Unsettling...unsettled
Seconds minutes hours
Things to do

Things not to do
Things to undo
Fraught with tension
Terror reigns
​​​​​​Not saught

Take it away
Away with it all
This day.
Marion Price (2019)

Hi Marion, 
Wonderful write, my friend, but sad. 
You're so darn nice, I can only hope your sorrow fades, and you know how great you are(but, unfortunately, I know the feeling. Sometimes I just want to say away with it all, and leave it like that). 

Awesome writing, though, as always. 
You're tremendous. 

Matthew.
