Back Home Next
"Time now for Double Jeopardy!"
The florescent light strikes my face
Four pillows prop my aching back
munch, munch, OW!
Stupid chip got stuck in my brace
Forget it,
I can't pay attention,
Even to my sweet TV
I search around in the dark
Pointless hands grope around in the dark
Gotcha! Click.
Slowly ease my body down and look to my left
Outside it's gray and rainy, like my life
Boring and rained on everyday
I'll just close my eyes for a bit
What the hell is that?
Beep, beep, Splash, Beep, beep
Ryan practicing for another Boy Scouts badge?
Nah...
Oh yeah! It's the rain!
The sweet secret code between it and myself
I forgot about that
So what is my message today?
My own word to the wise
Strain my ears against the speed of life
It's coming, I hear it
What is your word Oh Nature?
Oh, I hear it now
"Hello Darling,Don't give up on me.
Wouldn't you like to hear my peace again?"
I smile as I realize me own thoughts
I will live to hear the rain again
