Ominous Silence

Within my heart the harp strings plucked,
The clock has flipped to forty and nine,
A dismal day, it really sucked,
Where's the gifts, supposed to be mine?

Rivulets of tears upon my cheek,
No party hats or cake to cut,
No beribboned boxes to shake and peek,
Life gets longer, stuck in a rut.

The sun slips down on a cloudy day,
The numbing sameness grinds me down,
On, ticks the clock, hands I cannot stay,
I slip into slumber, my visage a frown.

But on the morrow's climbing sun,
Sunday's events should lead to fun,
Exhale the sadness, breathe in the Power,
Death to frown, off with the glower!

My heart is surging, filled with pride,
Cannot this downer hold me back,
Open my eyes and smiling wide,
A new day is born, leap from the sack!
