No one can hear you

My fingers tips run over the fragments of red paint still clinging to the railing. Chips flutter to the ground after my hands gently run over it. It feels like all the heat is being pulled from my hand, lingering where I had once traced, begging for me to come back.

Darkness surrounding everything except for one spot light across from me. Rain falls lightly in the distant street lamp like the first soft snow of the year. Silence is as vast as the darkness.

There is nothing here but you and me.

Your eyes like deep oceans being twisted by hurricanes; Turbulent and unforgiving. My soul aches to dive in and find the survivor somewhere within that has given up on hope. I scream out for you but there no response. 

Tempestuous heart jumps.

Take a deep breath and go under. I hold on to everything around me for safety, there is no one to rescue me when I get lost. Where are you?

Thoughtful Thursday- Waiting for the storm

“If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.”

We all know things that we don’t want to happen are going to happen. Sometimes bad luck just strikes and there is nothing that you can do about it. If you spend all your time waiting for something bad to happen or trying to avoid it happening you are going to miss out what is going on around you. Focus on what is happening now and enjoy it.
