I Just Express

The rain came down as I sat by the window..
                                I pondered what lifes and ups and downs have shown..

                               While at the piano the keys didn't feel or sound right..
                                The mixture of colors on my paint brush had no light..
 
                                  I then searched for a way to express without sound..
                             Then the door opened to Poetry and the words I've found..

                       I feel this time I have found my way through a tangled dark forest..
                       Now by the same window I write of rain and love as I just express..

Yes! I'm so influenced with nature in writing my poetry! I enjoyed your write very much! The 3rd stanza is the best as you just found the power of poetry...I love the day I found poetry! Big day that was! You'll do well in the contest!!
