Rain and Shine

(originally written last November 9, 2004)

i cried last night,

the rain poured hard;

formed a puddle of tears,

the streets were flooded;

these feelings i screamed,

thunder roared;

in the puddle i saw you,

the floodwater wasn’t clear;

a Pluto in my life,

garbage floated.

i smile today,

the sun shines;

i wipe my tears,

the clouds go white;

i feel peace and silence,

the birds chirp;

the puddle evaporates,

no more dirty flood;

i never think of you,

the storm won’t return;

an angel comes to me,

it is a fine day.
