Under the stars in the celestial
sky the echo of thunder climaxed.
Showing his power and strength.
The big drops of cool rain fell to
Embrace the earth.
I laid my head upon my pillow
and watched the charade from
the window by the bed.
Listening in stillness...
The soft rain~drops ~
drummed out a poetic lullaby.
I hummed faintly to myself.
The secrets that unfold...
Driven by the melancholy
forces of the wind.
The unforgiven strains
remain in the back of
your mind. Blinded
momentarily... By the
sudden burst of rain
that soothed your thoughts
and insecurities.
You wonder how ~
You allowed yourself...
To stand out in a crowd...
For so long. Leaving you
like a sponge to soak up
the rain and pain of everyone else.
Opening up the bottle
of left over champagne.
You pour it slowly into
a goblet. Ignoring the small
voice in your head. You
drink deeply...
After the storm has gone...
Laughter will fill your days
once again.
