The closer I get to my destination
The further away it all seems
The more I reach out for reality
The deeper I fall into my dreams

My dreams are like grains of sand
They blow away on the breeze
My heart is broken in shattered pieces
My happiness all to quickly leaves

But then my dreams run into you
A single dune on my life's beach
Where they pile up in wonder
Love just within reach

I embrace the love freely given
Into the sky I release my pain
My dreams finally come true
Showering blessings with falling rain

Raindrops splashed onto my windowpane
And all that can be seen are blurred streetlights

Yesterday I wrote a note
On a tiny piece of white paper
It read this: ‘I love you’
Then I went outside
And pinned it with a clothespin
On the clothesline

I’m on fire
And I can feel
The flames lapping
On my skin
Can you help me?
I’m on fire!

The wind blew my hair
Turned my umbrella inside out
And sent me falling to my knees
The raindrops splashed onto my face
And distant thunder rumbled angrily
Yet I picked myself up and continued walking
In the meadow in the beautiful rain

I pushed my tiny paper boats
Across the shallow water
Over to you

When I wipe at my inked words
Before the gel ink has dried
My words bleed and smudge
Onto the college ruled paper
Just like my heart does inside

I wish I could ignore
The pain I feel inside
But it gnaws at me
And I cannot ignore it
No matter what
It is most uncomfortable

I blew some bubbles into the air
And immediately my thoughts flew to you

The scent of rain healed
The wounds inside my heart
I took my shoes off and walked
In the tall green grass
While a few raindrops
Pitter-pattered on my umbrella
And dripped onto my yellow raincoat
By and by I started dancing in the rain
Releasing my pain and sending it flying
To meet the grey clouds in the sky

I sat down on the cement
With a box of colored chalk
Sitting by my side
And I wrote these words
With a piece of red chalk
It stated “I love you…always”
But when the rain fell
Later on that very day
It smudged those pretty words
I had written to you in chalk

Some people say
They are scared of thunder
But I just see it as a drumbeat
Which keeps my feet
Tapping to the rhythm
© SilentCry

The sweet summer breezes
Bring the scent of rain
In to my home
Through the open windows
