Rainy Days
It seems on rainy days I usually fall apart
Sorrow returns and infects my heart
But today is quite different it all washed away
The sorrow and the pain went into the storm drain.
Instead I feel inspired I really don’t know why
I seem to wait patiently for the rain clouds to pass by
I know that the sun shall soon return to the sky
Minutes become hours as the time just flies.
I find some new things to hold it all together
They seem to work despite the bad weather
It all feels so strange I think it’s like a dream
So I close my eyes and let myself drift downstream.
When I get to the banks the sky begins to part
The words flow freely from inside my heart
It seems so much has changed without me even knowing
While the peace of mind it creates keeps on growing.
