Beneath the sun in the summer, a sea of flowers won`t bloom without the rain....

Below is my favourite song of the moment.

Never Forget You by The Noisettes
I wish it was autumn already, the weather this summer has been crummy and at least if it was autumn we would have the colours.
Accepting and letting go of things out of our control is never easy but once we learn how to it makes living slightly easier. The end of anything does not always have to be sad, it can simply be just a phase in our lives. People come and people go, we leave or we stay, it is all rather random.
I wrote the following earlier this afternoon after being forced inside out of the rain. Though I think I had already had enough of a reading a book written by George W. Bush, even if it was written before his presidency. I can only stomach so much of his politics and false modesty.
The Lost Child of Aquarius
I do not live in a fishbowl
You cannot see me drown
There is privacy to protect
You will not hear from me
The lost child of Aquarius
I will carry water to shore
But no more tears for you
Our past should be burned
The smoke suffocating us
I will choke but never die
Breathing alone is simpler
You horded too much air
Oxygen should be shared
Selfishly you never could
Summer is still maturing
I wonder about your life
Without mirrors and sex
Can whores save beauty
For when youth vanishes
The way mine has lately
Without warning or time
A deadly foe like cancer
Black spots on a screen
I wonder about my life
Old friendships leaving
Their relevance passed
Everything runs a course
I would rather walk alone
Before accepting invites
My soul needs its peace
There are old bad habits
Which should be broken.

The intense summer storm of this afternoon is a memory of thunder cracking, rain pelting, hydro flickering and clocks flashing.
