It’s raining
It matches my mood.
The thunder and lightning
Catches my tune.
It feels like the perfect signal to continue to brood.
When the day is like this
And I am as well
It feels comforting
Like I have a friend
A partner who gets the pain I’m in.
Staring out at nothing
Living more in my head.
Knowing I need to move on
I silently pray for the spell to end.
And then a curious thing happens.
The rain gently slows
Then stops.
Just like that I feel better
Not awesome
But better.
What fresh reminder is this for me,
I wonder?
Soon, the rest of my day will welcome me back
To the sunshine
And I am more prepared for it than before.
Leaving the clouds behind
I am grateful to the rain
For soothing my pain.
