depressed
sprinkle turns to drizzle
rain into deluge
locking your limbs to the ground
paralyzing pressure keeps you down
like trying to escape
from a form fitting elastic bag
efforts to push or break free
only wasted time and energy
what goes out, only comes back
trapped in the downpour
old sorrows
recurring
so much so you can't differentiate
your tears and the rain drops
the blues and blacks of the scene
are dying your skin
until you blend in
in frustration, and angry
force your hand up
then with a flash of light it's down again
this discovery
try again
flash of light, then down once more
you've been covering your light
so self-consumed
in your own dying womb
try again and again and again
up and down, smacking violently with elasticity
"Let me keep the light!"
shatters your concrete scowl
splurging other colors out
dripping that complexion
there's a puddle of red and orange
accumulating below your crouching gargoyle silhouette
smidgen sense of relief
change in the tides
those sound waves giving strength
forming an umbrella to shelter from the rain
rising to all fours
mirrors in the puddles
you're so unphased, staring back
until the mixing colors paint a memory
that carves a grin
SPLASH!
yellow and green
refresh, and chain reaction
pink and purple
your smiles and laughs
unplug the light hole
sunlight draining in
you realize your efforts to escape
successfully mastered
and with arms out, and standing
flying colors
like feathers in your headdress
sundance
sundance
sundance the rain away.
