Lol I told Gen Grievous that I'd try and finish this one and so here it is:Rain
Blinding flashes of lightning,
Streak across the black sky,
Thunder growls its displeasure,
Rolling across the dark land,
Rain starts to fall from heavy clouds,
Beginning slowly and softly,
Then pouring down in torrents,
As if the sky had been torn open,
Spilling its insides out onto the ground,
And I stand outside in all of this,
My arms wrapped across my chest,
Face tilted up to be cleansed by the rain,
Of all the salty and bitter tears,
That have slid down my sore cheeks,
I’m sick of succumbing to this pain,
My heart just can’t take it anymore,
It’s been beaten and broken too many times,
Doesn’t want to feel this way any longer,
My lips are turning blue with cold,
I can barely feel my fingers and toes,
But all of this I am oblivious to,
For I am too caught up in complete misery,
Why should I even care anyway?
I can’t seem to rustle up enough energy,
To move myself out of the pouring rain,
Like my body has fallen into a paralysis,
And my mind is numb to everything,
I don’t know where it should turn or go,
Spinning around like a merry-go-round,
I seem to be lost inside of my thoughts,
So I don’t even realize just when,
The rain has stopped falling on me,
The thunder and lightning have vanished,
I look up to see a bright falling star,
Race across the skies right above my wet head,
That bit of loveliness amidst my dark thoughts,
Raises my mood to something less melancholy,
And feeling more ready to face the world,
I slip out of the darkness into the light.
I lover rain. Not a bad job at capturing the essence of the rain. 🙂
