Let it Rain

Let it rain ever so softly

That i may share the sheer bliss

With the green grass and moss

Of dew drops alighting gently

Upon my thirst starved soul

Let it rain like a tempestuous storm

With the force of a gale wind uprooting mighty trees

That i may withstand the fury of the wind and water

At once feeling triumphant, and humbled by the experience

Let it rain ever so moodily

Like a woman’s whims and caprice

At once exasperating and charming

So unpredictable in its nature

Let it rain ever so stoically

So full of resolve and strength

A silence broken by none

A determination only understood

Let it rain ever so joyfully

That i may sing and dance with the rain

With an abandonment and laughter which,

My friends the drops, share with me

Let it rain to hide my tears

Of fear, of grief, of shame

Let it rain to hide my anguish

At a feeling that has no name

Let it rain as though you were teaching me

Of life’s lost philosophy

That all that is was always there

And so shall it be for all time

Let it rain as though it had lost its way

Stumbling and bumbling and finally falling down

An embarrassed rain cloud as it were to be

That didn’t find its way home

Let it rain as all hell had broken loose

Like God’s terrible fury unleashed

Like hell’s angels brought down on earth

Thunder and lightning as beasts

Let it rain!

Just let it rain...!
