I sit in the rain
pondering the days away
as the drops coalesce down my body
little drops of gray skies above and below
pitter patter in beat with my heart
days these are when old days come alive
when I sit around and think back on life
I look at lost memories
they slowly fade away
they melt into the ground like rain
time is slowly running out
grain by grain
slipping through tiny cracks between my delicate fingers
trying to grasp each
slipping away like it never existed
weathering away at tiny pieces with the passing winds
taking away what wasn't it's to take
these hands of mine trying to make sand into glass
entering me from deep within
hitting my soul and shattering it
worn away by the trials of life
when old beats new
and the days descend
that's when living my life will begin
rain shadows over my life
singing out a sad song
for my individual gloomy days
building up puddles of memories
taking away my sadness
and taking away the nonexistent ray
bearing the truths through my eyes
and slipping it through my soul
