Carissa Galow's Blog – April 2013 Archive (7)

The sun has set

But it's not time for bed yet

The rain is still falling

And I hear the night calling

Frustrated and just at my wits…

Thoughts jumble together within my mind

Tangled in thick yarn

Unable to separate them

Wanting to break them free

So that perhaps then you will see
