When It Rained

Today when it rained, I prayed…

As I heard the first sound of the pour, I asked those drops to lift the hatred as they fall

It drizzled and reminded me of better days and I heard this shower telling me that there are more on their way

The clouds roared but today they didn’t scare me for I heard this downpour will wash away all the existing pain

I never loved rain as much as I did in that moment, it carried hope and I felt it through the fragrance that lingered

Soon, the raindrops stopped kissing the parched land, slowed the pace lifting a heavy weight from the Earth’s face

I lay there on my crumpled sheets wondering how I’ll write about this pour of peace and what I sent its way.
