Refrain

The ambitions of the day Slide away Slide away

The ambitions of the day Slide away

Turpentine and clay In empty larders lay

The ambitions of the day Slide away

Upon a time they’d say We end our broadcast day

The failures of the day Slid away Slid away

Pity you’ll never know The warmth of static’s glow They used to call it snow But it sounded like rain

Now broadcasts never end And I have lost that friend On whom I could depend To commend sleep’s refrain

Unbordered night and day In hazy lines I lay The ambitions of the day Slide away Slide away

Scroll and scroll and trend Broadcasts never end On whom can I depend On whom can I depend

Slide away

I draw. I paint. I write poems. I try to spread positivity, love and happiness through my creations. I believe in the Earthlings - we are more good than evil. If you need proof, have a hug or a homemade chocolate chip cookie. If we can share those, then there is hope for us yet.

Poem written and narrated by Doodleslice.
