Color in Rain

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain." -Unknown

Strangers pass along the street

Teardrops drenching their dreary coats

Daring so much as eyes to meet

So as not to reflect their weary souls.

Nothing protects them from within

Beneath the coat, under the skin,

If only the edges of their heart weren't so thin

And the rain could not penetrate through color.

If only a heart could be bought an umbrella

A colorful one to ease away the pain 

Giving the illusion that the sun will shine again,

That even hope could be found in the rain.

Last stanza's very cool. What the great thoughts you penned in the form of phrases .. I loved this poem .. and yeah .. i loved that 'Un-Known' Writer's thought too .. Keep writing.

What a thought: an umbrella to protect the heart - it should be created and patented at once! A super sweet poem, meter more or less well done .. full of small fleeting cameos of time. 'If only a heart could be bought an umbrella ~ A colorful one to ease away the pain..'


Many thanks for your review.

I enjoyed this poem Vic. Towards the end I was hoping that there was just only an umbrella to shield these strangers' hearts.
