The rain was beating fierce outside her window
Her heart found shadows pleasing to the eye
She pressed her hands against the cold glass window
And gazed as storm clouds rolled across the sky

A thought, a hope, a wish welled up inside her
And she sought to become a part of storm
She opened up her window and climbed outside
And left the place where it was safe and warm

She stood and stared into the growing darkness
And mouthed a wish for solitude to end
She threw her arms up high and shouted louder
But her voice was caught up inside the wind

But she screamed as though her heart had been torn from her
And the lightning flashed, releasing all her pain
As thunder rolled her wish for peace was granted
She spread her wings and she became the rain.
