 Random Ramblings from a Random Mind

a walk i once took


i  walk  barefoot
rocks  cutting  my  feet
but  the  rain  washes  away  the  blood
just  as  it  does  my  tears
tears  caused  not  by  the  rocks
but  by  a  lover....
..a  memory..
....life  itself..
a  few  months  ago  i  had  everything
i  had  a  husband
a  dog
food  on  the  table
a  job
a  place  to  stay

now  i  have  nothing..
lighting  flashes  before  me
i  dont  flinch
i  smile  at  its  wrath
so  beautiful
yet  so  dangerous
yet  so  harmless
and  all  at  the  same  time

its  weird
the  skies  were  so  clear  this  morning
and  now  a  storm  is  above
and  the  sky  is  black.
just  like  my  life.
everything  was  clear  and  stable
then  all  the  sudden  black  and  stormy.
everything  taken  away.
like  the  rain  that  washes away my  tears.
i  wonder  though
what  else  can  this  rain  wash?
my  fears  and  worries?
my  pains?
i  think  not.
but  i  can  still  hope...
...dream..
and  continue.
