The Essence of a Rainy Day

by Jade (Leo) - Leo


I stood there in the studio listening
Watching him sing that song
I’ve heard a thousand times before
Over and over… that I can’t get out 
Of my brain for whatever reason

I’m overcome with sway ness
And my mind is swimming with those words
That won’t leave me they stay with me like 
Clouds, once you’ve heard it you heard it 
A million times over.. In your head.. 

I sink to the floor of the studio
Close my eyes and try not to provoke
The spirit of the song anymore that it has
I am peacefully sleeping of other things 
That might be thought provoking to him
Maybe another song he might be interested in singing

As I am sunk to the floor of the studio
Lying there eyes closed I feel an arm 
An arm that is draped over me 
The presence is warm and comforting
I wonder who it might be 
Is it other than him or maybe an animal?
Perhaps another being? 

My eyes open to find it is he
The one who sang that song
Over and over yes it was he
The song that wouldn’t leave me
The song that wouldn’t die It was he

We sit on the floor of the studio
Talking on several topics
His plans for the summer

After a while he suggests we 
Go somewhere and talk about 
Something else, I say either tea or vodka
Vodka it is.. a mixture of tea? 
Something like tea and vodka
The day is rainy so we go and drink vodka instead of tea
Thus this is the essence of a studio on a rainy day…
