This Summer is the Winter of my life. Frost covering my heart, and ducts hammering water on the dead flowers of my soul. So long I have waited for the call of the sunshine to lift my spirits, yet now I find a more relatable friend in the rain. Falling fast and falling far. The joy of some, but the burden of most. I can't give much more until I run dry and become nothing more than a pale memory of a short - lived storm. What then? After I give my all, what is there to offer? I will be nothing more than the puddle stepped in by muddy shoes, with those I touched praying for the sun, as I did not so long ago.
