Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Light Verse

A Change of Heart

Falling raindrops like big tears
Pounding slaps upon the street
Getting stepped on by rushed feet
Screamed to me as if in fear.

Begged the raindrops please do bear
Their crash a little longer
Soon it would all be over
When people find some shelter.

Slowed down my footsteps somewhat
Their clash now changed to claps   
Though getting wetter, a flash
Of a smile I gave them back.

All the while upon the ground
Puddles quite large spread about
No longer clapping, they laughed
As they watched me jumped about.

And while I was getting quite drenched
I began to clap and prance
For my heart has found a chance
To break free from dread and dance.

John Rhinem August 10, 2010 at 5:15 PM Smile ~ "Wow," I read this twice very slowly and I could almost feel "Your Beautiful Soul" within its profound and beautiful verse ~ I love the metaphor "Your Preciousness" used for the rain and, this leaning towards a hope amid the midst of it all ~ "Beautiful Caroline; Truly" ~ I think I shall fave this, and "You" ~ "My Love & Warmth Always, To You & All You Love," John! ~ Smile, "Have A Beautiful Day Dear, While Waltzing Amid The Rain;" Bye Caroline!:) ~
