Dancing in the Rain

She danced in the rain as it dripped down her face

Or was that a tear that water drops replaced

She splashed in a puddle that went up in a raid

Or was that her desires waiting for change

Her wet hair stuck to her back in one place

Or was that her hope trying to stay

Raincoat on wet pavement, clothes drenched just the same

Or was that her protection running away

She looked up to the crying sky

Grey clouds withered as they passed her by

She was the center of the storm but not the eye

She felt every ounce of mourn in its cries

Sunshine formed on either side

She could see the more but couldn’t get to it in time

She constantly wondered why she wasn’t enough to be kept warm in or outside

Yet she flourished in what she had

Cold showers went on for hours,

Yet she danced in them until she was dead

But even in rest, the clouds above her were upset

For inside her was already filled with dread

It just traveled to her body from her head

Now her thoughts are calm and collected

Because they no longer exist

Just as she suspected

The clouds stay quiet

in their wisp

Rain still falling...

but now in silence.
