When the Rain Spoke



The day it rained
the world was quiet
drenched in the heaven’s tears

the day it rained
I couldn’t recall
the day, the month or year

the day it rained
thunder screamed so loud
my ears would never hear

the day it rained
my tears mixed in
with all I could fear

the day it rained
I listened to whispers
of all who were near

the day it it rained
I felt so free
and the dew cheered

the day the rain stopped
I went back to hide
from the rising sun

the day it shined
I knew the rain
would always come

the day it shined
I felt so sad
that the dry ground broke

the day it shined
I sat in silence for I miss
when the rain spoke
