Defeated mind

As if were haphazard
dawn appeared reassuring
dragging me out
from the curse of an endless night
 
I laid my head on window
held by dizziness
following the clouds
running crazy in the wind
 
The leaden sky was gravid
of contaminated rain
but then there was a miracle:
pale rays of sun
escaped for few seconds
through the suffocating blanket
which covered the earth
as a mortuary drape
 
I followed an idea's glimmer
in search of a nonexistent key
explaining the existence
but the point got lost
among the most remote folds
of a defeated mind
 
Thoughts pursued and overlapped
without rhyme
fast as the clouds
in that sky overload of storm
