Billowing clouds blot out the day And water falls from heaven's floor Things were meant to be this way It's just nature's way to life restore. The falling rain stings the ground Turning dust to muddy moist, It falls so quiet, almost no sound And yet transforms it's dirty host. It trickles and runs like windswept sand Quickly across the ground Pooling almost as if on demand In puddles gathered round. My life it seems is like this rain Falling all around me now, It reminds me of the joy and pain Both necessary somehow. Things cannot live in sunshines glow Never drinking from the rain. And it's nature's way somehow I know, There's no joy without the pain. And then the sun comes out... Knowlege tempered by wisdom...Wisdom tamed by youth. |

I like this, life has its ups and downs and can hand us plenty to handle but your ending is perfect....no if's, no and's, no wishing..."and then the sun comes out" period.... really nicely done |

very true, RSEvans, i can relate...you must feel both love and pain in life...for with out either you never truly live... Starboards "I wont look back, I wont regret, though it hurts like hell someday I will forget" |

What a wonderful way to describe the rain intertwined with life, I must admit that the rainy season is my favorite time of the year! Keep up the good work RS, we know you can do no less! |

I too, love the rain.... However, after a heavy downpour, it sure makes you more appreciative of the sun when it finally pops out.....Such is life. Michael and I have talked about this some...We believe that alot of the struggles we go through here, are for a reason...Maybe to teach lessons, and so that when you do see the sun, you'll welcome it warmly on your face, and know you've been blessed! An equal balance of both....rain & sun...makes for a beautiful springtime! Ok....I'll hush now...I seem to be rambling alot !  |
