The War of Raindrops

It has been a crazy day today. Not only has everything begun anew (the high school drama stories, the multitudinous homework assignments, the migraines, etc.) but the weather seems to be putting on a new dance. Ever since second block (starts at about 9 for those of you who dont attend the Ridge) the clouds have seriously seemed to be mocking me. The distance was all dark, stormy, gray clouds pregnant with rain. The area above the school was a bright as any warm summer day. The wind must have been impressive in might because it moved clouds at an astonishingly rapid rate. Within 15 minutes the sky went from sunny to dark gray and storming. Despite the rain there were still rays of sunshine coming through. I was amazing. I found myself lost in thought at the magnitude of what was happeneing and often wishing i had Andy's high tech camera and camera skills so that i could take pictures because it had to have been something straight out of a sci-fi novel or something. Anyways I started my customary walk home with probably the biggest migraine I have ever had. And as I'm going through this whole thing I find myself thinking of songs and poems rather than of doom and dispair. The setting was set for what seemed an all out war between dark and light, good and evil, rain and shine. Through all this the positives seemed to be on my side. And now I have a little poem forming in my head that I thought i should share. I hope you all enjoy.

The last rays of golden hope
shine through the dreary mist
and soon the thunder boomed and spoke
of days that had been missed
of times that rhyme and rhythem broke
and melodies did kiss

And now the music of the clouds
does shine like crystal mists
amidst the powerful crowds
that fade in night's abyss
Oh please do not dispair
for worry or for bliss
as now we stand here watching
the heavens reminisce.

well there you have it. short but somethimes thats a good thing
