I wondered if all these stars;
would ever fall to the ground;
walking away, wandering around;
painfully hoping for magic to be found;
my curiosity was blissfully piqued;
when I heard that melancholic sound;
pitter patter pitter patter;
my heart was served on a platter;
out for the mindless demons to devour;
the ones who roamed on droplets left to scatter;
I looked up and saw the sign;
the absence of light;
and the gray cloudy skies;
it was my cue to leave I thought;
my brain walked but body stopped;
oh, it falls so cool, so calm;
the bead of water on my palm;
my dark orbs match the floating mystery;
letting the tears out of misery;
I look at my torn sleeve;
wounds so deep, I never had seen;
my soul cries for the time lost;
regret finds it’s solace in anger;
it overflows in me and slips away;
the stars stayed in place and didn't fall down;
but my sorrows did;
down with the rain and into the ground.

"Pretty clouds filled with water, then it rains down." By Poet
My pretty pink rose garden is wilting,
they need a drink and a bath.
Fluffy gray clouds let it rain down,
sweet rose scent fills the air.
As the rain drifts off,
puddles stay behind.
Now birds can drink and take a bath.
Every day God thinks of you
Every hour God looks after you;
Every minute God covers and cares for you
As so each and every second he loves you
O’ God is within her
She’s her Father
And she’s an anointed daughter
She is blessed among all others
GOD'S DAUGHTER LORD RAIN DOWN BLESSING UPON HER-
Every day God thinks of you
Every hour God looks after you;
Every minute God covers and cares for you
As so each and every second he loves you
God is within her
She will not fall
God is within her she shall not fail
He’s ever present always
She’s rained down covered with faith, hope and love
GOD'S DAUGHTER LORD RAIN DOWN BLESSING UPON HER-

Rain down Your love over my soul
Breathe light into my nights
Whisper gentle warmth to console
Pour out hope on my sights
Color me in sweet grace
It is kindness I chase
You make me win the race
Light from above
Rain down Your love

Where do tears come from?
--They come from the heart
Eyes see what hearts feel ~
And tears rain down on their altars
Autumn Leaves Rain Down On Me
fall autumn leaves fall
rains down on me ever so
each leaf touches me

Slowly walking through,
Head down, frown on.
The pitter patter of the drops,
The squeaking of boots.
Lights illuminate the night streets,
Cars flashing by, nothing but a blur.
Eyes bouncing around the downpour,
Fidgeting with emotions.
The darkness appears, the rain veiled away.
Eyes meet in the middle, hearts pound.
Smiles sprout and arms wrapped,
Feet step in time and rain echos.
The cracked stepping stones and rusted door hinges,
The chanting of arguments overpowers the joy.
Now buried six feet underneath,
Hidden beneath the shadows.
Lips collide and the cold is melted.
Eyes wide and hearts paused,
The beat swirled into a remix.
The song of the free is now sung.
Between the raindrops,
The beat quickens.
Slowly and surely the pace morphs,
The mood now a working symphony.
The touch is releashed,
The feeling now an memory.
Once a spark, then a fire,
Burning brightly with desire.
Focus regains and all is gone,
The room dark, the backround shadowed.
The realization of it all,
Just a dream, nothing more.
Saturday evening rain down my window pane,
Shades pulled down hide the sight of clear dribbling dots,
Spending the night alone with the soothing pings of water outside tying to come in.
Remember when the AC broke right before the long weekend?
We couldn't get it fixed for a full week,
Instead of complaining about heat,
We went to the beach and took it all in.
Funny how the seasons change so quickly.
Clouds
of fire
fall anew,
change again my
view-
Clouds
of fire
set me free,
giving gifts to
me-
Clouds
of fire
speak each day,
show me what to
do-
Clouds
of fire
lead me on,
'til this walk is
done.

Rain down on me!
The sun is the center of the solar system.
And it shines bright.
And when clouds loom.
The sun heats the clouds and rains down cleansing life.
The water of life, cleansing us from the pain inside.
When clouds loom, the sun shines beyond them.
And brings me rain.
Rain down on me, and I know joy forever.
Our Father,
who art in Heaven,
hollowed be thy name!
Hear YOUR people, oh LORD.
Save us from this worlds destruction!
LORD JESUS,
let YOUR presence rain!
YOUR earth is falling apart!
People lie, steal,
and even kill!
Avenge us Father!
Send armies of Your angels to protect us!
Save us from a world so evil!
They have taken YOU out of our schools,
and they wonder why so many bad things
happen to our children!
If YOU are not there,
that opens the door for evil!
Without YOU there,
that only leaves room for Satan!
Our Father,
who art in Heaven,
how much longer must Your people hold on?
PLEASE LORD GOD,
open up the windows of Heaven!
PLEASE LORD ,
let YOUR presence rain down!
