Raining Within

Frequent the Showers
Feeds the rain deep in one’s heart…
Gone the sunlit smile
Now no rainbow resides here
Just the rhythm of the pain.

Sometimes, we feel only the cold dampness of pain inside with no sunshine coming into give warmth. A beautiful Tanka, dear harry !

Well penned, Harry. Often pain falls like sheets of rain especially when the loss of someone dear occurs. Best wishes always, Brian

I do believe the theory that the weather can affect our mood... Your words express that beautifully here...

This Tanka is really passionate, Harry. Grief is the polar antithesis of love, as you so vividly express throughout. Blessings my friend.

Very expressive and emotive work in this Tanka. I hope just a work and not a life's happening to make you sad. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
