Rain For Tears

Thank you for crying for me today My tears are sometimes an expression of the powerlessness I feel Through my tears I release my sadness, my fears and find answers I am all thought out Too tired to cry the hard tears or softly weep myself to sleep so thank you for crying for me today You pound hard into the earth As though mixing an antidote of gladness to overcome my sadness I hear you tapping rhythmically and methodically against my windowpane message in code "Don't worry", "Don't worry" you say You rain softly as my sadness and fears fade And I begin to find new meaning

This is such a deep powerful piece that is quite melancholy, but an excellent write! A warm welcome to PoetrySoup, and happy writings! Pandita
