I flicker with the raindrops
My head felt wet
I feel they longed for the sand
Wanting to feel its heat
Touch its soul and quench its thirst
Wanting to absorb all its misery
But before the drop meet its end
I catch it allmost, midway
And it fills me with happiness
But as this happiness subsides
I encounter a surge
Of emotions so dreary
Felt the pain that,
that drop carried, with itself
And my hands went numb
‘Let it go’ Said my heart
With much aplomb
And it pinched me
To see how low I went
To cage those raindrops
Was never my intent…
I was letting go of my pain
To wash away tears
And the wounds that needed drain
And seeing what has now become of it
I am happy my efforts weren’t in vain…
