A Walk In the Rain

A walk in the rain

I took a walk in the rain today.
Looked down at wet pavement under my feet.
Not wanting to slip and fall.
Two concussions in a year was too much for me.
A brain bleed too, they called TBI
Then they call it Post-Concussion Syndrome
When the ears keep ringing, head keeps pounding and spinning.
I sigh.
I didn’t like their idea of resting the brain.
No writing, no reading, no phone or TV.
Not able to think?
Almost a place of nothing
Except what to see.
I kept on walking in the rain today.
I kicked some acorns out of my way
Like regrets I have inside, to be gone.
My dog kicked off her rain coat.
I guess today, she felt the same.
Now her fur is wet like my hair.
I guess today we both didn’t care.

Gary Bateman October 22, 2016 at 3:16 PM Hello Heidi, Thanks for your recent comment on "Autumn's Kiss." My wife and I liked your comment. And, by the way, A Big Welcome to Poetry Soup! I just noticed that it looks like you started with Poetry Soup here in October. I've been with since in PS since August 2014, and have since published a book of poetry, and I'm currently working on a book of prose writes for release next year. "A walk in the rain" is superb!! A sad write, so descriptive. I hope you're okay. A "SEVEN"!! Cheers, Gary Heidi Sands October 22, 2016 at 3:23 PM Hi Gary. Thank you for your nice comment! Congratulations on your book of poetry! I hope to do the same. Also good luck with the book of prose writes you plan to release next year! :)
