To-day it rained. Like the skies had opened up their patio doors and persuaded heaven's tears to join in matrimony with the salty droplets that refused to cease spilling from my dispirited eyes. The bloated, offending clouds dried up with envy of this surreal union, and a blazing sun appeared just long enough to paint a rainbow with the fervent colours flowing like ribbons from my melting heart. To-day it rained. . . Chris Barker ~~~~ |

opened up their patio doors and persuaded heaven's tears to join in matrimony with the salty droplets that refused to cease spilling from my dispirited eyes. The bloated, offending clouds dried up with envy of this surreal union, and a blazing sun appeared i felt that today too; did i make it rain, or did it rain just for me, as my tears were in sync with it this morning |
