rain
Rain falls soft on me
Doors won't open with a stare
Wet, I shall remain.
Rain falls soft on me
Doors won't open with a stare
Wet, I shall remain.
its a good morning,
a cold morning...
full of beautiful imperfections.
falling like souls intertwined.
lingers like shadows in my eyes,
through my beginners mind.
hollow is an aching term,
to ache is to long and to long is to ache.
what shall fill this void?
what will make me whole?
looking deeply inward...
searching for motive and meaning...
overlooking the flower that floats on the surface.
i am lonely.
however, being alone is nothing new to me
and yet, i'm only recently stricken with this disease.
this dis-ease that hollows the soul,
and makes me long for temporary relief.
band-aids floating in the wind
shall i pick the next one off the breeze?
would she fill the emptiness that lingers?
doubtful.
hope and fear play with my careless intent
they are the racquets and I am the ball
bouncing from one to the other and back again,
with only the vaguest illusions of control.
hoping that fear does not make me seem desperate
and fearing that hope is nothing but smoke and mirrors
casting the ugly shadows
of missed opportunities.
hollow is an aching term.
flowers fade from life.
taking along sweet fragrance,
remembered beauty
i'm falling for you...
thanksgiving dinner
with my family and friends.
that was a good wine.
thankful for my girls
thankful for my family
please pass the stuffing
man, I am so full
damn, those bronco's lost again
time to play some pool.
it needn't be said.
i am such a lucky man.
peace be with you all.
