The Rain And My Pain

               
          The rain comes gently down
          cleansing everything in its path.
          Lightly clinging to branches
          slipping easily off their surface
          to land quietly on the ground.

          If only my memories could be,
          washed away with the rain.
          I might learn to smile again
          enjoy the life that I have
          and renew my inner self.

        I look at nature around me.
        I hear the rain coming down.
        Its a time of renewal I know.
        A time to grow and let go
        of past pain.
