DarkPoetry -|- Sketso -|- the weather outside my window

the weather outside my window

The skies rumble;
dark clouds mocking my mood
as a million and three raindrops
flee the scene.

I could swear I saw lightning
flashing in her eyes,
but I'm not grounded...

I felt no fear.

Free-fall
with a million and two friends
wouldn't be so bad...
sharing dreams with screams
without the realization
of impending doom

until you...

H
I
T

Excuse me, Lord...
must be some.thing wrong.
I bought a ticket for the ocean...

not this puddle.

Piggybacks nEssA's comment, the whole deal drenched me but the finale was outstanding...yet I must say i have... on occasion, found drinking from a small puddle has eventuated into an ocean, i think some things are simply meant to appear small so's we're not overwhelmed by their potential...gr8 write

i just love honest words. a haunted ref.rain of a man; as art; imitating life. .. .something in which the looking glass seems all too real, or more real, surreal. . .. perfection of an ending. .. .ness.

Haha - I like the cruel irony of it all. The camaraderie until the end where individuality rears its curious idea...

but you don't have any control over the ride....including where you get off. You thought you bought a ticket for the ocean....all you really did was hitch a ride

You'll get your chance again when the sun comes up, the evaporation process might sting a little, but soon you're on your feet (or in a cloud) and you can aim for that ocean again. I love the ideas in this, *raises glass* Here's to the storm subsiding
