A rumble in the sky, in the darkest of night

Rain pours down, with no end in sight

Their bodies cry out, such a jubilant sound

Souls have been lifted from under the ground

Up to the sky, on the wisp of a cloud

They cling to each other, faces unshroud

Though joyful, these spirits, as they climb ever high

They tearfully watch, as the clouds start to cry

She wept, into the silence of her pillow

No arms to comfort, no one to ease the pain

She was alone, left there to battle

Demons who constantly won, the evils

Who never gave her a chance, and still

She tries, tries harder than before, only

Left with nothing but the pool, collected

From her eyes, reddened, swollen, bruised

Unattractively noticeable, she remains

Locked in her room, the only safe haven

Away from the wars, the constant agony,

Her four walls, a sanctuary for her battered heart

the mountain cries,

tears of tomorrow

filling the emptiness

with briny waters

sating a thirsty Earth

where man dare only look

upon her sacred ground

unwelcome in her paradise

It’s late
Rain splashes
Against the pane
A haunting sound
In this darkened night
The wind, nonexistent
Yet it rattles the glass
Upon which I rest my face
Cold seeps in, relentless
To my already aching bones
The fire, crackling,
Hissing, next to me
Offers no warmth
Reluctant to move
From the window
I sit, shivering
And watch
As my tears
Roll by
