Passing Through

Passing Through

A Poem by P.J. Lowry


Walking across the tall grass
with the rain pounding down on my head
an annoying, relentless barrage of water
never really giving up until I decided to leave
as if it were the cemetary's defence system
the falling water also symbolized the grief
one would expect to feel and experience
when visiting such a sad and depressing location.

There I stood with flowers clutched in my hand
as I wandered through the maze of stones
feeling like a lost child looking for a friend
in the middle of an enormous crowd of people.
I finally find the stone I am looking for
like a reader when they find a favorite poem
stashed away in a thick volume of complete works
relieved to have found what you're looking for
yet confused about what do to now.

The rain intensifies in droves
crashing down on my brain as I try to wonder
what my life could have been like
had you been around a little longer.
Wondering is all I will ever do
as I lay down the flowers and walk away
and even though I�d like to stay
I�m only passing through...

This was beautiful. Filled with sorrow, but at the same time it was taken from a realistic life perspective. Well layed out as the vision jumped off the page with your discription.

I think that life ini general could be discribed as just passing through.

Great Write!
