I Want It To Rain

June 24th, 2009

I want it to rain.

I want the clouds to rip open with booming thunder,
And I want to see a sea of lightning splash out across the darkness.
I want the heavens to split open over my head and pour down on me with all they have to give.

I want it to rain.

I want the wind to churn and whip through my hair,
And I want to be there at the center of the chaos
With my arms open wide and eyes closed-
Spinning.

I want it to rain.

I want to let the thunder roll until I can’t hear myself think anymore,
And in that moment when the world is roaring around me
I want to scream and shout until I’m hoarse in both throat and mind.

I want it to rain.

And then…

When it’s all over maybe the quiet will return within this troubled skull of mine,
Like the calm after a storm.

      Thankies. I’m not sure where… well, alright. I know ‘where’ it came from but I’m not entirely certain how this bit of prose came from me in the way it did. :) I’m glad you like it. I’m very happy to say that it is raining right now, literally and mentally, maybe not as often or as much as I would like but still enough.

    Spirit,

    This is a very powerful and moving piece. I feel your pain, your anger, your confusion, your hope for resolution. I’m sorry things are so excruciating for you now. If you need to talk, drop me a line. I’m only as far away as that. ~LisaB.

      Thank you very much, I’m not sure how ready I am to seek help on the matter though I am so thankful to have so many writer buddies to offer (greatly apreciated) but I am getting to the point where I’m almost ready to vent about it else I wouldn’t be writing this much I think. Thank you again.
