Mesmer

The drops peltered down,

In synchronised exuberance....

Swelling wth pride....yet pouting in pain.

Drenched to the bone, I kept walking....

Down the long road leading to Neverwas,

Dreams woven out of a misty rainbow....

A rainbow lost in a shroud of misery.

Time swung by, hours washed away...

The drops kept washing away my senses,

My thoughts, spiralling upward into smoky oblivion.

There wasn't a soul, not a ray of light,

My steps grew weary, my sorry plight....

I trudged on - then faltered, I lay down to rest,

Sensing a warmth peeking out through the chill -

Waiting, for the drops to wash me away.

Waiting, for a new pour, in the heart of a new day.
