The Clouds and the Rain
The Clouds and the Rain
By Aidan Gilbert
The Stormy days force me to ponder
Ponder about the clouds
Wonder about the rain
Are they people too?
Do the clouds float frantically scared of falling fast
Do they sit in their thoughts so absent minded and undisturbed they float in air
Are they the keepers of our dreams
Keeping innocence and hope free and safe
Wondering about the rain makes me think each raindrop represents a time someone shed a tear
Now I know why they say the world cries when it rains
Maybe the world makes it rain just for us to watch
Knowing it hits our soul in a way that makes us drawn in by its mysterious beauty
The rain simply makes me sad
It forces me to sit on the roof of my heart and stare down at my existing disasters
Although I don’t stare for very long because I know
Just because the sun doesn’t shine forever
Doesn’t mean it will rain for that long either
I return to reality and continue my unwavering gaze at the storm
There is always a time to think and ponder
But my time lies within the clouds and the rain
