There Is None

There is no sun for me today  
Only clouds thick and gray  
Shadows lost midst blanket shade  
There is no sun for me today  
 
There is no breeze to cool the world  
Just dusty air, still, no swirls  
Flowers die, the leaves lie still  
No sun, nor wind to stroke the trees  
or warm the hills  
 
I do not sleep or walk or run  
I dare not dream or have my fun  
I will not eat or go to the lake  
to take a plunge  
I will sit in the dark missing  
my only one  
In an empty garden
