Stop the Rain

rrodriguez

After months of copious rains

I wanted to see the sun,

its yellow rays as sugary veins.

 

Dripping on my happy face,

but the rain is still here,

I want it gone, gone from this place.

 

Slowly clouds move above the sky

lingering like a dark memory,

uglier the rain that in it fly.

 

It’s said they represent our dreams

a sign of mortality and strife,

that shape the lives-varying themes.

 

At the edge of the horizon

the sun waves hello, flaming bright,

far, far it seemed to be risin’.

 

Soggy, slippery, slimy ground

beaten by the relentless rain,

that strikes a rhythmic eerie sound.

 

The birds fly squawking in pain,

they're doubtless tired of the rain,

droplets falling without refrain.

    I understand about the rain. Went through some flooding a year and more ago. And this is a fine piece

    It has been the reverse in the UK it has been hot and sunny except for a brief rainy period a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately we cannot control the weather.
