Hopeless Romantic
Garth
Step by step
Catch that breeze
The Shadow in the sunlight beneath the trees
They dance with me
They've got no knees
They slowly fading
As the clouds proceed
To dampen me
But I'm amazed
The sound it makes
'till the grounds erased
The pattern of the chatterin'
Against my face
On wet roof tops
it could take all day
the ants are scattering
but the cars don't stop
the People move hurriedly
They leave the raindrops
Behind in their mind keeping up with thoughts
The rollercoaster ride speeding on the spot
The traffic lights are one size fits all
But some snowflakes melt when they slow to a stall
And some leaves don't change colors in the fall,
And some hibernate and some don't sleep at all
The rain is beautiful in its own way
Indifferent to me
Getting on my way
Skipping stones on the surface today
But the stone in my heart become a poem to play
But it fits
like old shoes need new laces
it fits like scars
it fits like crooked tooth faces
it fits like emptiness
in a world of excess
it fits like recess
where people get no rest
