I awoke today
to the sound of rain
only it didn't sound like
the soothing trickle
one is use too
it was more like echoes,
echoes of emptying tears

Ever hear an empty tear before?
the welling pain of nothing
where someone once thought
something existed,
the endless fall of
anticipated anguish,
the thunder of reality
as it rolls over you,
through you,
and then passes you by
like most everything else

Today,
to the sound of empty rain,
I awoke

Hi Helen

   ... yes, I suppose ... the better outlook is
         the character now knows.

   Rain has that effect somedays.

                   Hope yours is sunny and bright!


            (congrats on the tests!)

full or empty
rain brings tears
of the unspoken

So sad, but well expressed.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
