Her

Each breath brings her closer to tears
what has she done with all the years?
Las Vegas stole part of her soul
Now she searches for a new goal
God granted one small blessing
Now it's time for nesting
what path will drop before her next?
only hope will get her through the tests.

This one was inspired by a friend of mine. From my point of view, she has had a rough time through life. But hopefully things are looking up from now on.

Rain

The rain glazes over the surface
making the dreary sky seem precious
for we look for the good
to make ourselves forget
we're all misunderstood
and we all get wet
trudging through the puddles
leaves dripping with heavy drops
careful not to slip on wet pebbles
muddy holes filled to the top
we don't fall
we stick it out
til the rain stops

A rainy day inspired hopeful thoughts.
