Big Sky

Big sky
Bright at dawning
Over all
The people mourning
For lost beds
Stretching, yawning
Tired eyes
Sleep adorning

Day has come
Commuters rushing
Carriages full
shoulders pushing
Rain falls
Gutters gushing
Smart shoes
Water flushing

Daily ritual
Workers working
Deadlines loom
Managers panicing
Frantic pens
Figures scribling
Keyboard jockeys
tap-tap-tapping

Clock tics
Day is ending
Another journey
Time spending
Borrowed time
Life is lending
Day after day
Never, never ending
