Poem
In the hollows of my soul when it rains with leaden sadness, And the clouds gather like grey jurors around me, I weave an umbrella from the glimmer of a dimmed dream, From that pure laughter, saved from under the tempest's sway. When the rain wanders as tears over the inner stones, I shelter my heart with a dance of merry flame, With the memory of a first love, or the first spring, And I turn each drop into a note of delicate symphony. I let the drops of yearning fall into the outstretched palm of hope, Which turns agonies into pearls that adorn me, Making from every rain, a tapestry that weaves me stronger, From joys fleeting, a curtain that guards against untold times. And when the storm bellows as only the cold wind knows, I respond with my umbrella woven from yesterday's smiles, It breaks the waves, turning each thunder into a blessing, There, beneath my multicolored shield, I hide and find myself. In gusts growing fiercer, drawn with a bow across the curtain of the day, I search the sky for a ray to warm me, to dry the clouds of sighs, And wrapped in the mantle made from the fabric of "once was", I no longer feel it dripping in me, I just feel new, illuminated spaces growing. Each cloudburst in my heart now brings truths on wings of song, Beneath my playful umbrella, joys become the armor I wear, In the crackle of doubt, I catch the courage to laugh with the rain, And I let myself be drenched by the miracle of life, for each rain washes, purifies, is reborn.
