A Blessing in the Rain

Every time clouds gather on canvas

sky unfolds grief

lets tears come down

and touch grass, flowers,

emotions running deep

into the soul of underwater

songs.

***

Mermaids wake up

each time it rains

they fan their wishes

into rainbow,

add light to sorrow coming down,

become the breeze that drives despair

into the night.

***

Each rain

blesses on touch

each drop a gem,

necklace of dreams

waiting to be

more than a thought

faster than racing heart.

Love rain for all it takes

and cleans

from spirit.

***

Wash anger in raindrops

let anguish melt

into glass bubbles

one mirror for your love,

one soul

to hold and dwell in sunlight.

***

This rain isn't a tempest

that dooms belonging

and forgiveness,

when it rains

there's a second chance

you can start once again,

believe

and you will see

path of sunshine

beyond thunder and turmoil

in the sky.

***

Set free your heart to play

don't stay inside in fear

rain is your blessing now

for happy afternoons

fate glimmers in a puddle.

Where can you find your luck,

where meet chance in a gaze

if you don't dare rain to embrace

the last shred of your wish

come home at last?
