Right Between The Eyes

I’ve come undone
A lost man
Searching for the sun
Crows circle above my head
And rain clouds are above her wings
I look up at the dark sky
And see the first drop
Falling towards me
I don’t move
And I let it hit me
Right between my eyes
The crow screams above my head
Then the rest of the drops follow
And I realize
There is music in nature
The noise of fresh rain
Hitting pavement
Sounds like a snare drum
In a short crescendo
The rain pounds down
And then the thunder
Rocks the skies
It’s the base to the snare
Wind shakes the chimes
Hanging from the houses
And lightning
Captures a quick picture
Of the undone man
Who’s still lost
Searching for the sun
But is only greeted
By rain clouds
And booming storms
As he steps in a puddle
He realizes
That only searching for the sun
When there is
So much music
Out there
For him to experience
Is a silly thing to do
“Fuck the sun,”
He says to himself
“I don’t need it.”
He/I jump over the next puddle
“I can stay in the storm.”
And he/I stopped searching.
