Dawn & Dusk

I try to drown out
The terrible noise
With a host of empty
Instruments of joy

I flood my senses
With sugary notes
Cherry-topped tunes
On ice cream cones

I bash my head
With heavy bass lines
To try to drive
The sadness from my mind

A mindless melody
A simplistic symphony
Repetitive lyrics
That are shallow and empty

But when I take
The sorrow inside
And with a golden thread
Of hope intertwine

I find there is a
Beauty in the pain
And a chance to instead
Dance in the rain
