Rain Of Tears

Posted December 13th, 2005 in Poetry by M

And at the end of the day,
and  after all these years
I don’t know where to hide
from The Rain Of Tears…

The breeze whispered in the trees and it wanted to say,
it had traveled all the way, coming straight from you,
I could tell it was true,
I could smell your perfume …

And at the end of the day,
and  after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

Beautiful skies, so endlessly blue,
telling me a secret you already knew,
we are so very far apart,
but I can see into your heart

And at the end of the day,
and  after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

I’m standing right now in your favourite place,
feeling the warmth of the sun across my face,
driving away the mists of my doubt,
knowing you’re here, within not without

And at the end of the day,
and  after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

Hearing the birds as they sing away,
I know they repeat what they hear you say,
that the soul of a song that is sung today,
will be freed and be glad that I can soar away

And at the end of the day,
and  after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

And if it does rain I can stand outside,
I can look up the skies with my arms open wide,
I can feel the drops as they mix with my tears,
and wonder when I will be done with my fears,
and I can break out and smile because now it’s so clear,
that no matter how far you are, you are always near,
I can feel your tears blending with mine,
and then I know that I’m going to be fine.

And at the end of the day,
and  after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

But as long as I can feel that the sun in warm,
and with every new day another flower is born,
and with all the kind words that people will say,
and with every smile that I give away,
and all the memories i will remember today,
I may not have to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…..

    I love the poem. I feel you, M. This is deep.

    True, there’s so much beauty, love and hope in the world around us. We all need to take some “time out” moments to focus on the good in our world and the wonderful friendships we have, and we will indeed discover that we are actually blessed beyond measure.

    Thanks and keep writing.
