Sad thoughts on a rainy day
Chris Sanborn 1984 (United States)
I can hear the sounds of the raindrops, falling on the tin roof. Listening to the gurgle of it flowing down the drain spout. Watching it pour out the bottom, to fall upon the ground. Tears flow down my own face, remembering the past sitting beside you. I struggle to find that calm center, as the memories cascade around my mind. Those currents pull my mind to saddened shores. How many times did we sit and enjoy the rain together? The brief happy pauses, like lightning bolts in the tempest of sadness. Happy moments seem the hardest to hold on to.
