The rain is
me, now.
Grey, grey clouds
that hold my heart
and soul, captive;
heavy with leaden
sorrow.
Huge pearly
drops falling;
from my eyes??
My thoughts
my dreams, hopes
aspirations and expectations,
peopled in my mind-
Inundated
by the pain
that never seems to stop.
That will never let
me be.
The downpour
of agony
sweeps all away.
A sun rises anew,
in the cycle of life again;
flood waters recede-
as they must.
To garner myself
my thoughts and
my precious self…
How tough it is-
to learn to live again.
