the rain falls outside his window here in the heart of the city beating rhythmically against the awning almost in time with the beating of his heart the thunder echoes its rumble in his soul he thinks about friends he wonders if he has any left they all seem to be leaving for one reason or another perhaps he held on to them too tightly perhaps he cared about them too much he knows that he can do that they're moving on with their lives while his remains stagnant they say they understand but do they? the thunder speaks again reflecting the turmoil in his heart how much more hurt must he endure? the rain beats a little harder now the wind has picked up he knew it wouldn't be easy but not like this it's Friday night here in the heart of the city the rain continues to fall. . . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, this is so full of emotion and feeling. But what can one expect from a guy with a heart as large as yours. Wonderful poem. Juls |

What an emotional poem. I love it. The loss of friends males the whole process of moving on, much, much harder. Abra "So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key." -Already Gone, The Eagles |
