The song of a tumultuous mind.

Like a wave of surging tears
crashing against the shores of mind,
Minutes dragged on and time lagged slow
fear and pain in a rumbustious bind.

No thoughts to dissuade the nagging ache
that possesses the beating heart,
A wound so deep that tears can't heal
a dream come undone, torn apart.

Looking in vain for that ray of hope

that is growing rare to find,
Hear as it flows with the morning breeze
the song of a tumultuous mind.
