I have come to know the rain

The substance the sky cries

Drowning the cracks in the path

Seeping its way down the walls

Silencing the loudest laugh


No one seems to notice the liquid

No one feels the pilling

The window view has its ups

I experience the falling down


Surly the storm cannot be malicious

Thunderous shrieks calm my heartbeat

Lightning shreds my deep-thoughts


Healing waters caress my mind

The heavier the storm, the lighter I feel


When the sun comes out, the storm doesn’t go away

Who better to cry to than an open sky?
