If You Ever Wonder Why it Rains

Written for you my darling as you go through this tough time...For S,C


Poem Artwork

Two sweaty palms
pressed together in prayer
Your sunken soul searching
in the dark of the room
a place to lay your head
to rest this burden
can anyone see
does anyone hear
do they know like I know
like I know in my heart--you wonder
Do they know how it feels
how it feels as intimately as your cheeks do--
hot tears can't talk but they leave a trail
does anybody know?

But you see,
Your answer came yesterday, the day before
and the day before that
That's why it rained
He cries when you cry
You cannot concieve
the abundance of His Grace
the magnificience of His Power
the depth of His love
Your tears, mere salt and water but
His blessings are screaming for you to recieve
they dance against your windowpane
So if you ever wonder why it rains
yes,
it's all because of you
--of you alone-- that it rains

((Honey, you might as well dance in the rain!)))

I, too, love the last line of your poem...
Rain is healing & cleansing... It can be full of joy, free our pain, or at other times rejuvenate and refresh us... on the other hand... it sometimes has the capacity to make me feel as though the heavens are weeping with or for me...

I love your last line. In the context of the poem, it works like magic.

On another note, rain always was magic for me, because I cannot seem to cry. So when the heavens pour down that rain, it gives me such a relief. ...just another testimony to reality of God's love and understanding of our misfortunes. --Charlie

I generally love the rain (I get enough of it) and as I got to the end I sort of expected that you to be capitalized; behind every drop a blessing in disguise (He sees, He knows)
But you ended it right: "you might as well dance in the rain!)"
A great tribute to your friend,
michael (PS: I'm on "black rain" today, a little different theme)

Good poetry, and a pretty good suggestion at the end.
I personally like walking in the rain. There is
something cleansing about the feeling.

great inspiring verse B, it's funny before I read this I wrote a poem on keeping peace of mind, last night I danced because of the rain, the good and bad rain, we handle the bad positively then dance to celebrate the good, most of the time I'm dancing because I didn't let the bad mess up my day, it's easy to dance when everything is good, harder to dance when everthing is bad, embraces

Oh so sad but beautifully written with the ultimate hope at the end. It seems there is much sadness and struggle within so many of us these days...within our minds, hearts, spirits.
My saving grace is walking with Jesus, trusting in His love, sheltering within his peace, and asking for His guiding light.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
