Solace

drip...drip....drip.. off rooftops
pit..pit.. pit..pitter patter on pavement
ting ting ting tinkling down in increasing pace

Standing alone in the cold dark rain
Raindrops easily disguise my tears of pain

splat splat splatter as heavy drops fall from cloud break
drum.. drum.. drumming against window panes
howl.. howl... howling as wind whips in a fury

Moment of weakness were my fight has left
Darkness overtaking light, lost, alone, bereft

boom.. boom.. booming as thunder rolls
crack.. crack.. crashes as lightning flashes
gurgle.. gurgle.. gurgling as debris is swept down street

Shadow of rationality screams "You are blessed!"
"You never know what tomorrow brings" whisperings of hope caress
Cleansing tears as inner light overtakes my dark rain
healing, renewing, refreshing... washing away my pain

drip... drip.. drip off rooftops
pit....pit....pitter...patter.. on pavement
tap ..tap.....tap of tiny droplets that turn into mist..
