Like The Rain

I'm in a cloudy state of mind just like the sky
Both being strong leaving no room for release
Allow me to roam yesterday's valley for a while
As I did the day before I went to sleep...

I'm already there in the midst of new direction
Every footprint I've engraved I've done with grace
Oh, I just refuse to crawl if I don't have to
If I can move a little with tomorrow's pace...

I must doubt that I'm aware of heavy waters
Just like the rain that leaves the flesh ever wet
I refuse to show the dampness on these cheeks
I just can't provide the proof that you left...

Today's path is gentle and how kind it's been
And, I'd only like to acknowledge the mighty sun
So, understand if my knees never touch this ground
For, I refuse to view us all but minus one...

Heart wide open to dismiss any storm that happens by
I refuse to live with these days in a constant sigh
Oh, I just refuse to hear the sound of you gone
So, I'll remain above these clouds as I have all along...

Like the rain that has nowhere to go but down
Then, may this search for peace keep me on dry ground
But, should I become weak allow your memory to catch me
So, I don't fall like the rain should the clouds break free...




Sauni The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S

Missed you..where on earth have you been?

Its good to see old faces and their poetry.

beautiful descriptions you have...lovely the way you put your thoughts in poetry.

You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL

I have always liked the image rain plays in poetry.  So, naturally, I loved your poem for the images it incites within the soul.  Thank you.

Saunni - a soft write that must come from a softer heart. Sharing thoughts and feelings...
