I Called it a Day

 

I called it a day.

 

When the guns went down

And Sun threw its crown

When stakes got stale

And shorter read the tales

When flames didn’t stir

And tears didn’t blur

When blisters turned sore

Like tales from the yore

 

I called it a day

 

When life ceased to feel

And Roses turned to steel

When dreams welted night

And couldn’t wane the plight

When simpler it became

To change from the same

And harder it became

To explain what was plain

 

I called it a day

 

When Silence seemed to gel

And days would not swell

When whispers turned to wails

And down went the sails

When the souls would not pray

And Gods refused to stay

When love lost its sheen

And no reason could be seen

 

I called it a day!!!!
