The Rain

Author: Unknown

I hear the rain outside

Aware of the uncertainty of tomorrow

Goodbyes are inevitable

If it was a dream

I could just wake up

But no, this is real - it's not that simple

It is not on a computer screen

It is very real

Why does it have to rain?

The dark clouds scare me so

They are much bigger than me

Overwhelming

I miss when things were wonderful

Please, Sun...Make the rain go away

Just for a little while

RedCrystal~~ Wow that's so beautiful. I wanted to thank you for sharing this work and I see it's your second poem ever. Years from now, you'll look back on your early works and see a form of honesty that, well, changes with time. There's a deeper challenge I've been told by other writers. Look INTO those dark clouds and see what you can see. Grab your subject matter with two hands, like you were gonna ride it and see where that takes you. Such a nice piece and I so enjoyed it. What was your first poem about? Good to see you here. Bright blessings!~

Thanks celtic....yes, this is my second poem. These past two poems were created when I went through some very tough times in my life and my mind was just overwhelmed so I had to put my random thoughts down on paper and this is just how it appeared. It's hard to explain. The first one I did is here

people are often drawn to write during or after events which shape their lives. Times of growth,change or loss,it is a way of remembering who we are and yet also keeping an eye on the direction we would like to go. I would like to encourage you to keep writing if the mood strikes you for there is a nice flow to your words and thoughts...elo...

So very true, elo....when I have to look for the words, they are not there...but as the thoughts appear, I no longer have to look. They ARE there. Thank you.
