I sang from the river

I bought myself a loneliness
and all that it entailed
the days of possibilities
the hours spent in vain
the canvas was so white
but you cannot re-invent life
and life won’t give you a look in
unless you really try

and I sang from the river
as the clouds began to fade
and I stood there and dithered the afternoon away
and I sang from the river
till the sunlight of the day began to wane

the canvas was so white
but you cannot re-invent life…
