Thoughts

waves crash against sandy shore
at the closing of another day
sun descending behind tall pine trees
as time starts slipping away

the sound of thunder in the distance
as lightning meets dark blue sky
and i sit and ponder over issues
as always constantly questioning why

rain comes pouring down
puddles all around
funny how sometimes when it hits
water doesn't make a sound

why is it people play games
when really there's no use
and after all is said and done
all that remains is years of abuse

sitting in the rain
i let it wash over my soul
hoping that when the sun comes out
i'll once again feel whole
