One Rainy Day

One rainy day
Is peaceful and gentle
Light tapping on the window, soothing the mind
A soft mood set
Like it can wash all of your worries away
One rainy day
A violent storm
Trees swaying, threatening to break and fall
Pounding thunder scaring one under the covers
The power flickering
One rainy day
And the world is gray
Nothing matters anymore
The ambient noise numbing every sense
Stress, anxiety, depression
And you let go
For many
All it takes
Is one more rainy day

Harmony, I read your poems, hopefully better times ahead for you! Find peace within yourself by continuing your writing, its cathartic! I too experienced darkness when my wife passed so young. Check out my poem "Introspection" as inspiration.

Thank you for the feedback, poetry is one of the many ways I get my thoughts and emotions out. I read through some of your poems as well and I understand. I am just starting out but I plan to continue writing poetry as a method of coping and for others to read.
