Over Apathy Falls in a Barrel


Disguised as rain,
apathy keeps falling from the sky,
striking the leaves
on the tree of good hope,
making them tremble
before hitting the earth
and dampening the ground
with
wasted oppurtunity.

  5. It is so good to have you back at TWW - your words are distinctively beautiful..apathy falling..when you think by nature it doesn't even move..but how it can drown you..quietly..Jae
