Neglecting the Obvious
Today it rides in on a full moon
Appears suddenly without warning-
Takes away the dreaminess of my dream
Exposes me to the truth of the morning
Leaves me afraid and unprotected
An unexpected apparition, adorning
the pangs of pain that I've rejected
Fills my thoughts with dread and fear
Reminds me of what I've long neglected-
The deterioration of my aging gear,
Tenderness, soreness, throbbing pain
The downward spiral throughout the year
That goes away and returns again
A messenger of great persistence
And messages with the same refrain
Listen to this simple tune
Today it rides in on a full moon.
