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.

This is so beautiful ma'am :) could completely identify with this one!
ReplyDelete"...to learn to live again " - Isnt tough if one realizes what left behind was MEANT to be left behind.
ReplyDelete@anu: thanks:)
ReplyDelete@enigma: True, very true..but that realization never comes easy, does it? Despite all the introspection and the worldly wisdom one gathers..:) Thank you for the insight!

Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
