Fairy in the Rain by PabloDiablo5 on DeviantArt

The clouds spill a thousand secrets



                                 I look up to the sky, waiting
               as the swirling clouds crash
                      they have an endless movement
and today they are full of tears . . . 
                          I hear the rumbling thunder
                  see the lightning flashing
     and then, the rain is falling in torrents
           the clouds spill a thousand secrets
   those raindrops hold all my secret pain
                         and all my grief
                               all my forever longing
                                    and a thousand tears
                that I keep within me ~
I wear mask to hide my weeping and it is only when it rains
                   that I can cry . . .
      I dance with the raindrops and feel them touching me
                           oh, like a fairy princess, I twirl and swirl and dance
        just let go they whisper . . . .             and then,
 the sun comes out and everything is sparkling and there is a hush
                 of beauty . . .

For some reason I felt sadness and grief wrap me tenderly as I read this dear Constance, warrior poetess, you are so strong! And I must say there are many lines that touched me here especially “ I wear mask to hide my weeping and it is only when it rains that I can cry . . . I dance with the raindrops and feel them touching me” i feel a strong connection, as if rain is speaking to me, when it rains, those words really did resonate deeply! Your words are soulful!
