Rain falls when
The clouds get heavy. I
Walk with my umbrella, which the wind turned
Inside out. Droplets fall around
My head, and I
Remember when I was a child and got
To play in the puddles. Then I became sick
And cuddled in blankets. Mother puts a hand to
My forehead and smiles at my
Sneeze. I drink hot soup, which warms my stomach.
Now I wetly plod along, and
My soul smiles as I
Recall the rubber ball that I threw
So high it seemed to touch the rainbow that arced down.

Finally, I have found Where the Sidewalk Ends!
Well, less "Where" more "What" and "When".
The sidewalk is our timeline and each fixed point is an end!
Around our aura parts the currents of space and chaotic life.
Where we've both been trapt in its waters and we gained our years of fight.
Battling towards each individual branch, we see emanates of sounds and lights!
With laughs, cries, and hues galore we parade our guiding lanterns high!
For in the distance is curdled screams of wedding bells and flashing purple skies.
All this time bobbing in the waters, but it taken so long see
At each Sidewalks End, the darkness recedes and reveals pieces of you and me.
Where a lantern collects a moment in time, each dew drop holds our melody
Each star holds pieces of a fragile heart, and every End is only The Beginning.

Take me to where the sidewalk ends.
Past the dark streets that wind and bend.
Return me to what I used to know.
Bring me to the roads diverged into the wood.
Let me take the road less traveled as I should.
I refuse to stay along this normal path.

My Holy Ghost came
In the form of anxiety
In the night.
She said, “You’ve got to
Start moving until momentum
Gets you by.”
At first I began to question
Because; I guess that’s just
What I do.
Than I ran to look in a mirror
To see the person that
Gets me through.
ie, myself
Everyone leaves
When you’re stuck in the mud.
So I listened to my heart & started
Pushing; thanking an apparition
That I wasn’t where I was.
Sometimes; the grass isn’t greener on the other side.
& it took renovating
My mind to finally feel what that was like.
& now I’m flying &, I should be dead.

*She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by--
And never knew.*
