Stagnation

Mindless swirls penned on the margin of my page
Thoughtless thoughts swirling on the surface
Vacant eyes staring into an unknown horizon
Still, unmoving, unlike the chalk on the blackboard.

Mosquitos breed undisturbed in shallow puddles
A reminder of yesterdays rejuvinating showers
Shapeless white clowds sit on the sky
Still, unmoving, forgetting to roil.

Trudging minds from day to day following motions
They have followed yesterday and the day before
Running, screaming, falling, fighting, drowning
But, really, still unmoving, forgetting to rise.
Forgetting to live.

Let it Rain

Let it rain, let it pour,
Take away what was before;
Wash away the scars and stains.
Let it rain.

Dark comfort in a sky too bright;
Blankets of fleece helps to hide from the light;
Let it rain.

Dried leaves of fear shiver in the wind;
Carried away as the storm sweeps in;
Let it rain.

The sky splits open for a moment of hope;
Electric, the future that unfolds;
Let it rain.

Deep murmurs of a yesterday's lies;
Grumbles annoyed at being left behind;
Let it rain. 

Prickly showers, a reminder of life;
Salt and sweet drops mingle in delight;
Let it rain.

Let it rain, let it pour,
Take away what was before;
Wash away the yesterday's refrain.
Let it rain.
