Rain falls
Among the valley of tears
Running along the veins
Of a life half-led in shadows
Drifting apart at seams unbecoming

I stare at the ripples
Of faces then and now
Slowly merging into infinity
And then fading into the fog
Of a dream barely remembered

And the valley flows out a river
Moving towards an ocean of miles
Of undiscovered roads laying empty
With grayish lines, cobbled paths
Akin to a mind's many layers

I speak barely above a whisper
Lauding to all and none
How each page of life writ
Becomes a book, bell, and candle
In a ritual of extremes

And as the sun now shines,
I slink further in following the rain
- with the tears along with it.
