Charcoal Drawings
I will put away my charcoal drawings
Sketches of my hopes now turned to gray
I will put away my charcoal drawings
Tomorrow could be a brighter day
Such an uncanny way to have to etch a picture
What I dreamed is not the art I look at now
My interactions with this drab life’s drawing
Have left me feeling somewhat out
So I will put away these charcoal drawings
Sketches that have become today’s dismay
I will lay these down to rest, seek arms that give me strength
Strength to face another day
No more gazing at these disappointing smudges
I rest frustrations with artistic skills I lacked
I will lay my pencils down for now
The sun sets and I know somehow
That tomorrow could be a brighter day
Tomorrow could be a brighter day.
