tonight i am working on a new website for a client of mine. really needing to finish up on it. so here i sit, drinking tea, listening to the rain over my zero7 playing on my itunes. strangely my thoughts wander from work and settle on my shining star. i pause for a while before i move back to the work at hand.
the rain coming down upon the dark street. the street lights reflecting off the wet pavement, stars on a cloudy night. cars rushing past amplify the sound of storm outside. always sounds worse when the cars go by. it makes me melancholy yet comforting. longing yet at home. perhaps its a sense of needing to wander. to go beyond the boundaries that limit us. an imperceptible feeling to be elsewhere. walking the damp streets at night, looking for nothing in particular yet wanting to find something. singing a soft song under your breath with a deep soulful passion to no one but yourself. a feeling of aloneness in a crowded street full of strangers.
the rain beads up on my face and touches my lips. the water slides down and drops upon the street with a soft pat, like a punctuation ending a sentence never spoken.
slow silent screams that never end.
never wishing them to end.
