I was standing there

I was standing there

satisfied with life

the sun was in my back

I was warm and

and the way ahead was lit up

Then a grey cloud settled over me

and effectively slashed my joy

Now

while rain drenches me from head to toe

my mind is jaded from 
trying to fathom life

and the cold burns my eyes

as I look for something that will

spark a recognition of what life can be
