On Monday sadness is released
Way into the week
The flow of kindred thoughts has ceased
Why should yet I speak?

My longing soars up with the birds
Bitter grief grows fat
Dead mailbox doesn't hold the words
Never to be read

A glimpse of luck I had in hand
How could it slip away?
There's nothing I can understand
And nothing more to say

On Monday sadness is released
Way into the week
If freedom's war and bonds are peace
Which of those I seek?


If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with - Stephen Stills
