Far away in the night

 Far away in the night
Dreams and sorrows
Stare at me, unkind   

My story is narrow
It can’t fill a dream
Even in an unfriendly night
I can’t spill a tear 

It’s not a delighted story
And I’m not ashamed to say it’s mine
For I’m just an old man seated on his porch
Catching glimpses, of his short life
