The Weight of Nothing Happening

Sitting still as raindrops race down glass,
with nowhere to go, I watch the clouds cry.
A weekend spent sprawled, my thoughts like quicksand,
where time drips like honey, too thick, too shy.
I search for meaning in the heaviness held,
a single raindrop finds its way to the street,
just one drop, nothing more, a story retelled,
while silence envelops, concrete under my feet.
Here in the stillness, the weight is my own,
a spectrum of choices draped over my skin.
Each minute like lead, yet nothing is shown,
in this grand dance of life, I find no spin.
