Life Poems

A rose in the rain!

A rose in the rain!
the clock stuck 12:00 midnight unable to sleep i ventured out into the darkness of the night
desperately seeking an answer i just close my eyes and try to weather the storm brewing inside me!
the winds of change that sweeps the land everyday is powerless to dissipate the storm that rages when i wake up!
with darkness all around me, i patiently walk around trying to find a crevasse and enter into life again (and reclaim my life again)
countless days spent searching and many a sleepless nights wandering around the darkness gets darker and darker and the storm rages more and more furiously
thinking about this all and trying to find an alternate route i stepped away from my usual path into the road that i long left behind
with a slight rain now falling, as I turned back into the desolate road i froze at the sight that i saw
on a path that only dead men walk around struggling to bloom in the darkness i saw a rose in the rain!
