Mark Russell Poet Acrostic

The Rain Starts To Fall Again

Today began much like any other day
Help for above must be on the way
Everything seems to get soaked by the rain
Realizing the sorrow it erases the pain.

Anything can happen I’m living proof
Inside I stay dry sheltered by the roof
No one can hear me, so what good are the words
Sounds so familiar like you’ve heard it before.

Too many emotions seem to get in the way
Against all odds I still arrive at today
Retreating to only gain the ground once again
To you, my love, I shall always send.

Some people come in soaked from the rain
Totally washed out, nothing was gained
Only the rain really knows for sure
Followed by sunshine it feels like a cure.

All of the pieces of the puzzle are in place
Leaving it behind just to join in the race
Losing it all and then starting over again
Answers I don’t know yet remember when.

Ghosts from the past come from out of the fog
Air is quite heavy saturated with smog
Inside the rain can’t get to me
No one shall know what the future may be.

Edward Ebbs October 1, 2011 at 10:54 PM I am quite aware of the Ghosts of the past. I believe that good prevails in the end...maybe a little idealistic. I believe that one's future is brighter for those who are true to those around them and to oneself. I was once told, "If you can't enjoy what you have, you can't enjoy more of it." Seems a little lame at first, but we just need to keep moving forward and do the best we can. ~ Peace Mark Russell October 2, 2011 at 8:36 AM Not at all I believe the same......The world need dreamers to set the bar or how would people know how high to jump? Thanks for reading and have a great day:) Mark
