Why Blame The Rain


 

The day is cloudy

And you curse the rain

As if the rain were the reason

You are feeling so blue

 

It is not the rain

That makes you so hostile

It is the fear inside your soul

Confront your demons

 

It is not the rain

That makes you bitter

It is the chain you have placed

Around your heart

 

It is not the rain

That makes you unholy

It is the vengeance

You feel toward all others

 

It is not the rain

That keeps you from being alive

But your lack of introspection


And your belief that you are perfection, personified

 

It is not the rain

That makes you lonely

It is your pompousness

Which makes you unapproachable

 

Allow the rain

To cleanse your heart


To wash away

The stagnant anger that you hold there

 

Don’t blame the rain

If not for the rain,

And it’s dance with the sun,

We would know nothing of rainbows.

Sherry, it’s always easier blaming others for our own shortcomings, yet without facing reality one will stumble in the dark and never find the light. An outstanding write. Thanks for sharing it. Take care and be well.

Here comes the rain, again, and I love it! You are so right. People who complain about the rain have other agendas--axes--to grind. Especially like the ending. No one can curse a rainbow!

A thunderbolt of a write which packs a punch enough to make one's teeth rattle, like storm-battered window panes. A good message for those of us who need to hear it - sometimes only a good shaking will cause such messages to be heard when we have become so self-absorbed. Resentment becomes a bitter-root which not only spoils relationship but spoils and damages ourselves far worse. A wonderful write, Sherry, with a masterful conclusion which brings out the sun! Thank you for this parting of the clouds! Kate xx

Sherry, There's great knowledge in this piece. It's human nature to blame our lousy day on anything but ourselves. We spend so much precious time pointing our fingers, elsewhere, that we don't stop to realize all the time we are spending could be spent changing the way things are going in our lives.
I truly did enjoy this wholesome piece of your heart.
