The Rain

As the sun bares
the heat of the day
the wind shifts
and clouds head this way
Slowly at first
without a sign
like problems with answers
hard to find

The clouds gather
from distant skies
shaping "How's"
and forming "Why's"
They linger
but not for long
just enough to show
what went wrong

And just as quick
the rain begins
the drizzle, the downpour
and then it ends
But before the sun bares
the heat of the day
the wind shifts
and the clouds roll away

Hi Ctowen,

This reminded me when I was a little girl and I used to lay in the grass and watch the clouds. Clouds form into some cool shapes if you look closely. Beautiful write.

I enjoyed reading this one. Excellent imagery of clouds, rain, troubles and questions all floating around in a threatening way...and then blowing away.

The raindrops falling
Steady rhythm coming down
Mother nature’s tears


Sometimes I love the rain.. listening to it tap against the window.  It always relaxes me. Nice write  
Hugs,
Tara

Angels tears cascade
From iridescent pupils
Glittering with love

(sigh) Oh Craig, this is soooooooo lovely! (smiles) I love the rain; I love walking out in it when it's drizzling and smelling the juniper and jasmine scents as it relaxes me! Your words always hum such beautiful music to our ears! (smiles) We all love you so very much, sweet friend! (big hugggggssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Craig, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
