Tears

He sat there on the hill, sat there and watched the darkening sky. There was a face their in the clouds, and it glared down at him, as though he were a child. As though he were a disappointment. The face stared at him with unblinking disdain as the sun dipped below the horizon. The colors danced in the sky, taunting him with their bliss. As the world fell into darkness, he closes his eyes. The wind whirled around him, like an invisible tormentor, whispering accusations, cursing him for his every endeavor. He had tried. He had tried so hard... His fist pounded the unyielding ground sharply, hoping to drive the wind away. It sneered at him, and he could hear it's sibilant laughter echo in his head. A sharp, cold rain drop stung his face, and a moment later the storm broke.

You need beg no pardons, I am more than a little flattered, and quite overwhelmed that my works could inspire someone else... And that you are reading...

Inpiration is often found where you least expect it -- but come on, that was right there.  ^_^;;  I mean, on the one hand, you have a girl enthralled by a sunset and enamoured by the clouds, and on the other you've got a boy who's tormented by those same things. It's so poetic, it's almost cliche.  ^_^;;

And, I would've added you as a friend by now (would save me a little trouble trying to find your journal every time) but I didn't want to scare you away.
