Poem: The Rains

I thought the rains would never stop

I thought I’d drown in the puddles

That seeped up, up

Flowing from my feet to my neck

Some mornings the clouds were less

Some mornings I saw a glimmer of sunshine

And yet, always, the rain unexpectedly appeared

I thought the rains would never stop

As I shivered from the cold

Drenched in sorrow

I thought I’d invoke more rains

More dark clouds

I thought the rains would never stop

Yet today, the sun unexpectedly appeared
