Sorrow of Rain

the rain is my motivaton to cry the night away it is the inspiration for a solitary serenade it echoes through the mausoleum of memories in my mind and it washes away the pain with the help of father time the rain reunites the senses and induces tranquility within it also intensifies emotions like the ocean against the wind it offers harmony to humanity and it calms the savage beast it cleanses soul, self and spirit to say the very least it renders a mirror into your soul that magnifies your ways like the puddle from the rain reflecting the image it displays happiness is to day like rain is to tomorrow how can we ever know happiness if we never known the sorrow?

How can you say you can't write like I do? You have your own unique style which I dearly appreciate and the message is always so complete. The last two lines here just blow me away. So very special John. Never underestimate what you write my friend! :)
