From the Rain

by dejohnsrld (Debbie)

From the Rain
 
Torrential rains of sorrow
Teardrops from the sky
Drench me with despair
Uncertainty of why
 
Sprinkles of discord
Come from everywhere
Building into darkness
Where no one seems to care
 
Eventually, a saline river
With tumultuous flow
Washes away last remnants of joy
Have never felt so very low
 
Plunged into fury of the storm
Using all strength to survive
Substance abuse to kill the pain
Questioning if truly alive
 
Eventually, I see a light
In search of peace I go
Walking away from night
I feel the power of life aglow
 
Back to holding on
Keeping goals in mind
Progress is very slow
And aging not always kind
 
Holding onto life’s mystery
Accepting it with humility
~~~*~~~
