The sun shines on me;
Glimmering off the clouds.
Shades of gray assembled,
A roar echoed.
Darkness loomed beforehand,
Sparks of light shone.
Tears came falling from the skies,
Easy at first, more to come.
Pitter-patter on the roads,
On the roofs and on the floors.
Splashing on and on, it seems,
No end of it all is seen.
Feelings so dull,
Solemn and gray.
Absence of joy flowed,
Inside and outside.
Touching the splashes,
tasting the tears.
Reminds me of how it used to be,
How it feels to pour everything out.
Emotions felt,
Nature intended.
Gives us experience,
Takes back none.
Clouds dispersed,
Sun arose.
Tears dried up,
Time to go.
Heart refreshed,
Soul enlightened,
Body relieved,
Mind empowered.
Walking back to whence I came,
Leaving behind a single gain.
A gift so powerful no one holds,
A gift of love that once was told.
Pain and heartache diffused me,
Hung my soul up high.
Distractions withhold me,
Sadness relieves pain.
