Raining Thoughts

The summer heat swells
The brain trying to function
Under the pressure

Hands and feet are stiff
Eeking words out of the air
Seeking a release

Sometimes thoughts rain down
Interferring with our lives
From out of the blue

Furiously, we try
To uncover the reasons
For our despair

Yet, there is real joy
At finding a way through it
A resolution, of sorts

It is not high art
Posterity will not claim 
The ramblings as good

The human was here
Raining thoughts, splashing around
Trying to be heard

Sharing the silence
Reader and writer connect
In the mist of life

It has all been said
In so many ways before
Life is not exact

The fact that we try
Testifies that we were here
Raining our own thoughts
