Rubble

I feel myself crumbling
Why - I don't know
It's just something that happens
Like how waters flow
Like the dimming of stars
Blackened by clouds
Rain pattering softly
Eternity enshrouds 
And when ends the rain -
Knowing it must
My soul shall replenish 
Yesterday shall rust

Hush now - for now
Echoes of fear
Attack not my thoughts
Reign terror not here
This too shall pass
I know that it will
Nothing lasts forever
Though there's rain on my sill
Wash it away
Or pretend it's not there
Maybe it won't matter
Or maybe I won't care

Rest easy - try
Echoes don't sleep
Thoughts needn't cycle but -
I always burrow in deep
My mind goes in circles
Each time that it rains
Still, I come back to the water
To fill up my veins 
How it surges in me
Acidic and vile
Now watch it spread out
Yet stay here awhile

Onward I'll look
Undiscovered I peer 
Caught up in the feeling
Of uncertainty and fear
Uncertain, yet sure
Life could never be so easy
Didn't I learn my lesson?
Empty out - let it fill me
Vast fractures covering
Echoing - I still don't know
Rain pours, demolishing 
Dust settles and starts to show -
Out of the rubble, better things will grow
