I’m looking for beauty
And finding soft
raindrops
To look through with wonder
Till the rain stops.
Searching for sunlight
Until it comes back
A quest for the
truth
And all that I lack
For all that I had
When I had what I had
Now all I’ve got is rain
(Stuck between black and sad.)
Droplets like lenses
That slowly unfold
And everything’s bent
So
twisted from what I’ve been told
But now I no longer recall
Yet still I can
remember
The raindrops reflect my past
One glowing
ember
Like
sunlight rays
In some other memory
I claim to be my own
(Some other eyes to see...)
You cried, you cried, by God you cried
Like the storms and skies before.
Haps raindrops are
all I ever had
And exactly what I’m looking for.
