Day 27 (Tue 2nd May 2006):

The Sisyphean challenge

Darkness descends on sorrowful moans
The anguished cries and painful weep
He must face it, he must face it alone
Like a ship adrift in the oceans deep

He walks up this lonely street
Strangely, no one in sight,
The dark mists swirling to forfeit
even the slightest hint of light,

He walks along this lonely street
no one to dry his tears
massage his tired feet
or calm ever present fears

Seeing life through tainted heart,
making everything gray,
Alone, his life, anew to start
Always searching for a way,

But life goes on no matter what,
That fact he cannot quell,
Memories never to be forgot,
Within his heart they dwell.

So he keeps walking this lonely street
Keeps searching to find his way,
Every night he lies down to sleep
And prays tomorrow's a better day

He awakes to this lonely street
Strangely, no one in sight,
The dark mists swirling to forfeit
even the slightest hint of light,

He walks along this lonely street
no one to dry his tears
massage his tired feet
or calm ever present fears

Seeing life through tainted heart,
making everything gray,
Alone, his life, anew to start
Always searching for a way.
