Rain
SoundCloud Block
I know you’re tired,
lurching from one exhausted moment
to the next, rushed
through life
like a cloud
at the mercy of the wind.
It’s a relief, isn’t it,
to let go,
let out
what weighs heavy
on your heart;
to lie
on the shoulder of the hill
and weep.
You’re not asked to
hold it all.
Life invites
release,
places mountains in your path
to clear the skies
and water
all that you watch over.
What the cloud never sees
is the valley floor
blooms
after rain.
