Why do I cry when it rains?
The Heavens weep,
pouring out all their sorrow upon the earth.
they shed the tears of unbearable pain
over our desolate landscape.
They wash our souls clean,
and give us a second chance.
When it's over
the stars dry their eyes,
and smile brightly for us.
There is no song as moving,
nor a painting brushed as delicately,
nor a force as powerful
as the rain.
When you see all the colors
that i see in the downfall,
when you see the butterflies
and the fairies,
you will shed tears of sadness
which only you have known,
and rejoice in the beauty of being washed clean.
You will understand the two constants on this planet:
somewhere, it is always raining;
and where it is raining, someone is crying
to bathe their souls in the pain of the angels
and to be set free.

Wow, I knew what you had said to me was very poetic, I'm glad you wrote it down. I'm glad I give you the will to write, but you do the same for me . . . you're an amazing person. I can't wait to see you again, I miss you! Lola -
I cried every single day for the past decade plus ... And I laughed every single day
That kept me sane ... And whenever it rained, I either walked in the rain, or I listened at its silver song, or I witnessed its rejuvenating rivulets quenching the thirst of this earth ... and of my soul ... And that washed away my sorrow ...
Thank you for this poem. I agree with every single word.
Hugs.
