rain is an emotion
like crying
the release of pain
long kept inside
pouring out in waves
the deluge
released from a place
deep within
once it starts
it keeps coming
until it is exhausted
over
watching the rain
from my window
a tear
welling in the corner
of my eye
the memory returned
and was gone
release
a balm for the soul
