THE MUD IN MY EYES

Eyes open wide,
Like uneasy legs astride,
Curiously searching a tide,
In the rough waters to ride.

It is the mud in my eyes!

It is dusk, yet it is dawn!
The light as if gone,
Off to darkness unknown,
Everything is a moan!

It is the mud in my eyes

Water is as if rusty,
The wind has blown so it's dusty-
-it tastes nasty,
I drank it hasty

It was the mud in my eyes

I cannot see, I cannot hear,
It's the ringing in my ear,
Saying I forgot what is here,
Pushing it back to the rear!

It is the mud in my eyes

Like a dark shadow,
It engulfs to swallow,
Everything from the deep to shallow,
Left with pain to wallow! 

The mud in my eyes
