Is it raining there inside you?
It LOOKS as if there's rain,
The way you walk,
the way you talk,
those eyes so deep with pain.
I know you're not the type to cry,
you bear all that you can,
but pain's deep trace engraves your face,
and indicates...'a dam.'
Is it raining in those walls,
those walls of flesh and veins?
There's a thunder when you move,
that says...'INSIDE... it rains.'
Don't let the walls store up your rain,
don't hold it there for years,
open up your window eyes,
and flood out stormy tears.
Un-dam the bolted upstairs door,
let words of turbulence out-pour.
Let the waves inside tide out,
whisper drips, or spurt a shout.
Is it raining in your walls...
those walls that dam your pain?
Release the well,
life's burden tell,
My friend...let OUT... your rain.
A FINE INSPIRING METAPHORIC WORK THAT SEEPS WITH THE DESIRE TO HELP AND CARE AND WANT 'HEALING' FOR OTHERS. POETS ARE SUCH SPECIAL PEOPLE... PASSING ON THE 'MEDICINE' THAT HEALED THEM, THEY REACH OUT...

Kay, this is an excellent poem. I love the originality of it and how you expressed in visual terms the pent-up emotions that can well up in us.
Thank you for sharing this,
Anthony
Kay, an excellent way to put this, emotions from the inside out, such a great idea, you sure I didn't think of it? :) Had me bawling in my cereal...Peace, Ed & Rufuz

reminds me of a piece I wrote called "Brief Calm" re: letting the "rain" fall and cleansing the soul! Nice write.
Words of wisdom. We're so accustomed to walk around carrying our burdens locked up inside, we're walking bombs -- best to let it out, though life often doesn't allow us to do so. Thanks for this post.
Wow Kay...amazing write. So many hold in their emotions which only hurts them more. I say CRY CRY CRY...release it....even the men. Men stand taller to me when they cry and show their emotions than try to be a macho man and hide them. Amazing write, my friend.

The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
