Viewing the rain

'7 degrees c, rain' Keep your misery to yourself phone Maybe you leak this misery due to me? I'm doing the same Constant reminder I'm sad Just in the written words Because the rain is fine Perhaps I'll leave my hair wild when I walk in it So it doesn't feel it has undone me Wear no make up Then it can fall on my face Wake me up rather than wash me away I can outsmart the temperature with a coat I can withstand the weather If I just maintain myself I'll have to walk in it though There's no choice about that

That's why they call it "braving the cold" Great Poem my brave friend. A warm autumn day here and you made me feel cold. They say its art if it makes you feel. This is Art. Well done, Loved it D. Wen

Wake me up rather than wash me away, what beautiful wording Dilly, you’re not alone with the crap weather it’s rainy season over here too, put years on us mere mortals, although it’s nice to soak in your brilliant poetry, cheers David

Love this…let down your hair, forget the makeup, just let it happen as it will anyway. Resolved that you have no choice but to walk in it. The rain could be metaphor for your sadness. There is a time to do your hair and makeup. There is a season and a time for all things under heaven…a time to mourn and a time to dance.
