have you ever seen the dark clouds as it begin to rain like a broken heart releasing all its pain falling on the window like teardrops in your eyes rolling from above from the teardrop skies
overcast and dark like a troubled mind sunshine that it knew now been left behind light that it once knew now has turned to gloom just like the raindrops locked in dark cloudy room
maybe tomorrow will be a different day sun will shine again take the gloom away darkness in your mind see the light once more like the clouds above will be clear once more
some people seem to carry heaven in the way they walk— effortless, luminous, as though their purpose is to remind us of grace
i have not known such ease my lessons came through breaking bones of the spirit through the heavy silence of unsaid words through desires that cut too deep
and still— i do not curse the falling i do not despise the storm
because what it left in me wasn’t bitterness but the stubborn clarity that love, even when it burns down, remains the only treasure worth guarding
Off to the zoo, to watch the otters and to cleanse my soul, the world has churned me, flattened and burned me to be quite honest, it’s left a hole, a couple of hours with whiskery faces might put a smile in all the right places
