Echoes of Thunder

On this late June morning,
As distant thunder shakes the window panes
And the grey sky rolls quietly by,
I find myself stuck in a pool of time,
Swirling quietly round in a brief respite
From the ongoing rush and rapids of life

The mistakes in my years are remote yet visible,
Like a mountain range in a rearview mirror.
They recede, but they do not dimish.

The future is still misty and veiled.
I don't know where the road is going,
Though I know where I want it to go.

How many times must I play "Harvest Moon" and "A Thousand Years"
Before you catch on?

Outside, the rain has started.

' The future is still misty and veiled, I don't know where the road is going. ' So true, and rain makes its difficult to see things clearly. Your thoughts caress softly around me. ~ Brandy

Even though the rain continues to fall, the sunshine will appear when the time is right. Soft sigh. You're very welcome. Hugs to you.

Thank you. I know it can't rain forever, but that's not the way it feels. /heavysigh/ Again, my gratitude
