Relentless
Slanted rain patters on the tin roof
Heavy, then easing off before returning with even more intensity
Like an emotional being getting upset
As the tears fall and sobs turn to relief…
Until the thoughts come back around
Realer this time
When it’s steady but soft it inspires me
And through the window I watch it fall from the sky
Barely visible
But the sun shines through at an angle and you can just notice it
Against the dark forest background
Millions of drops of water pour from above
And it’s hard not to realize that it is the Universe shedding its own tears
Weeping to heal
There’s comfort in the rain
Perfectly illustrating that sadness is the only way for us to grow
Boy am I growing
It’s that torrential sort of rain that lets up for a little bit
But is sure to come back all day, maybe for longer
You don’t really know when it will end
So you try your best to think about all the blessings that come
While the world is wet
