Lazy August day today, <br /> I stopped along the way, <br /> thinking that I had, <br /> a thing or two to say. <br /> <br /> It's hard to learn to play, <br /> that game in someone else's way, <br /> life will never be the same, <br /> as it was yesterday. <br /> <br /> The gathering of serious, <br /> is ganging up on me, <br /> I find it most mysterious, <br /> that they knew when I was grieving. <br /> <br /> I never told a soul, <br /> that today I wasn't whole, <br /> it is as if they smelled the blood, <br /> like the sand shark from the mud. <br /> <br /> I 'm scared the day will never come, <br /> when I'll forget and just have fun, <br /> and embrace a distant pain, <br /> amidst the falling rain.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/falling-rain/
