Tears of Rain

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the                        beautiful, the tender, the kind; " Edna St, Vincent Millay

rain
falls hard
ground is soft
black mud appears
swollen rivers flood
tears cry nonstop from sky
trees are engulfed by pure rage
weeping willow weeps for life line
roots struggle for strength to hold onto
stormy clouds pushed away by mighty sun
