raindrops weep from my window
to the tempo of a heartbeat,
splatter on the sill,
& fall before my feet.
pitter patter, it goes...
the tranquil gleam of the moon
casts a velvet glow upon my wall;
an unbridled gale rattles the glass
& the raindrops continue to fall.
as they coalesce, a puddle grows...
my weary soul reflects in the dark
with palms pressed together tight,
confused & misty eyed,
seeking sanctuary in the light.
in its presence, i’m alright...
But drifting fog swallows the moon
as the chilly wind shifts direction;
i’m consumed by a wolfish darkness,
& mournfully abandon my reflection.
yet another wanderer lost to the night...
& so the wall no longer glows
& the puddle only grows...
am I drowning?
God only knows.
