"Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards."
~Vladimir Nabokovar
this for days
on and off
going on a stroll
coursing the beach
gingerly looking out
minding like the dickens
every word and speech.
Tenacious efforts
you put every time
you're bloody obdurate
so am I
don't try, hurts us both
block it off
before one of us chokes.
Oh, redundancy it creates
drooping me, day by day
these games of charades.
Antipathy maturing
inside your head
drop it dead
my friend
I' m what I am
how can that change ?
Both of us
naive to mutate
let's go on a walk together
we'll tune our ways
in a way
that doesn't bother.
One never knows which way the rain wants to fall....it gives in. ...to mighty gravity that pulls it along...but then the rain has no choice...but we the human know art of balancing..or... as you say art of tuning our ways...we forge our own paths sometimes parallel ..sometimes cross...
