Light Drops

Clear daylight

Through an open window,

Fresh Breeze

In newly awake lungs

Waking optimism,

Insurmountable problems

Shrink overnight

Into laughably minor molehills

Breakfast with loved ones

Gleaming, robust life

Sparkles invitingly,

Teeming cells of innocent energy

Then, the late train

Jostling, angry, indifferent commuters

Diesel fumes and stale air

Uncomfortable doubt

Empty office coffeepots

Server down, staplers stolen

And suddenly, the Light

Drops.
