a rain of dispair

the October sun
shone high in the sky
the sun, of a sepia tone
till the clouds came by

clouds of hope, they seemed
but weren't
clouds of rain, uncertainty
they were

they brought with them
the rains of death
and not of belief,
that was shattered

monstrous, ferocious
vehemently dark and gray
they cast a shadow,
a shadow of gloom and dismay

they thundered, and roared
and rained till dark,
and it has rained ever since
to wash away my hopes, miles apart
