Rain, God-forsaken, bleak, bleary, rain, befogging the air as thoughts of you befog my mind. Harder it comes, wind-driven, thick, viscous drops, splattering against my face, stinging me with their insolent, uncaring, selfish manner, much as you, in your self-contained, self-preserving, self-centered world, denies all but that which is an achievement of self - denies me, after my being fulfilled your need - denies that which I gave freely, driving it pain-riddled into the depths of my soul. Rain, drowning my soul. I pray for its end . . . © wesley james beard, jr. |

Not sure why the world plays the way it does. It seems everywhere people are getting rained on and it's only adding to their woes...while out here in the dust of the desert I get the dried out remains of your clouds overhead and some added humidity they bring with them, but not a drop to soothe me. I would gladly collect the drops in my open mouth, and dance naked under a good out-pouring. It's strange how our personal perceptions of things that might not have anything to do with what's going on around us can shape how we view them. Someone once taught me it begins with thought patterns. Good thoughts = a good outlook. That doesn't prevent the bad ones from coming of course, but you do have the choice of which ones you you process and take with you. I hope peace finds and holds you my friend. Michael |
