My Rainy Day

My rainy day

The day is weary with rain
 My heart is dreary in pain
  My mind is fickle
   My emotions change like the ripples…

Ripples of rain
 That pours down my window panes
  A gentle reminder of the pain that drains me…
   Of a life that may never be.

If only you see
 I could be that vision I once had of me…
  The one that reflects the specks of decency
   Dignity and a harmonious reality…

But when I look 
 Through the reflections…
  In the collections of memories
   Nothing is clear you see…
 
My visions are murky and dirty
 And full of indecency.
   I pray for more time…
    I wish I could rewind…
     To the days where my sun
      Would forever shine…

Lay

Mary Meade Stephenson December 24, 2010 at 7:39 AM Another of your writes that I can relate too....Writing is so very therapeutic and I find that I can write about what's bothering more easily than I can talk about it....and it i so freeing of the soul. I feel that we must have similar pasts....keep writing Lay and I will keep reading! God Bless~Mary~

Robert A. Dufresne December 21, 2010 at 7:09 PM Hi Lay, I just read a poem somewhat related to some of this one. "tranquility" by Mary Meade Stephenson on the soup. You might want to check it out. I thought of this one when I read it.

Robert A. Dufresne December 21, 2010 at 7:03 PM Hi Lay...well written poem in that you have expressed these feelings and desires most of us get at one time or another (or many times) so well. great job. Hope all is well.
