Sending an icy shiver
Down my back,
Pervading my stillness
With loneliness.
The past is in the mist,
Gray distances...
And childhood remembrances.
Drizzle dampens everything
Making noon solemn,
Turning nearby windows
To candle-lit icons.
Lightning with jagged arms
Doesn't frighten me
But the morose
Grayness of the haze,
The unending tedium
Of rainy days.
I realize
Everything is gone
But traces of you
Inside me,
And gradually,
The years and storms
Will also sweep this away...
Leaving nothing left
But rainy days.
