Rainy Day

A Rainy Day's Promise ...
	sleep
the kind that descend like raindrops on a rainy day
	is what is called for
i am not within that element
i am not even sitting here
	my mind has gone on some mission
		search and destroy
i look about me at "possessions"
	this collectible or another
	and realize just how insignificant they really are
dust gathers on them
the joy upon their attainment has since lapse into apathy
	only momentarily recalled
i recall fondly owing little more than the clothes on my back
possessing nothing more than a "small world"
	now i have created a monster that lacks mobility
		something only recently regained
		from the blackness
	and it is back to that mobility that i desire now
	going here and there without a care
discovering in each new season a "newness"
	now possessed with the knowledge that nothing really changes
	we just move along the time line into another tomorrow
		if that be our destiny
wanting each day to dawn with the promise of a new beginning
hungering deeply for "something different"
	only to find myself in a position of stability
		wanting something reckless in my life
		some new challenge for me to overcome
limitations are for those who want to feel pitied
	waking in a new chapter is the stuff i'm made of
		not the sameness
	though processing the elements of stability
	i am wild and quite untamable
		there is so much i haven't tried yet
		so much more i want to do
i dwell in the land of faerie and the realm of dreams
	even as i walk among the masses
	i am a vampyre
		a creature of the night
	needing to feel the world without truly belonging anywhere
		belonging everywhere
this is my plight
if indeed it is a plight
	i cannot be held to limitations
	i shall always challenge
		that is my reward
		that is my freedom from the bondage of stability
found on a rainy day
