sometimes I get the urge to share the things I write. Even if its not all that good writing. However, I don't know whether the following is good writing or not, but it was inspired by the song 'tears in the rain' by vangelis from the soundtrack to bladerunner. All I hope is that you read it and maybe even nef something clever in response.



tears in the rain.
drop after drop beating down on the flower petal
the sad dark curve of incandescent hope being beaten to the ground
the soil
the earth

drop after drop beating down on the flower petal
tears in the rain
redemption reflected in the globe of water
absorbed by the soil

the sad dark curve of incandescent hope being beaten to the ground
redemption reflected in the globe of water,
the flower petal absorbed by the earth

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe in
Attack-ships on fire on the shoulder of Orion
I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gates
All those moments will be lost
In time
Like Tears in the rain

Time to die

Monologue of Roy Batty right before he dies in "Bladerunner". Beautiful, beautiful moment.
