Beyond the glass...

I will believe, come what may...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How dark the rain that stained the glass like blood,

Each drop crawling in a slow, steady stream.

An endless river, a torrential cursing flood,

Washing all joyous life away, it would seem.

 

Somehow beyond the glass my eyes perceived

A world in living movement and color now.

How my heart truly ached to believe,

What this painted canvass might allow.

 

Now my fingers cling to the cold, clear pane;

Out there is a wondrous world to pass.

My eyes, my darkened eyes remain,

May they ever behold what is beyond the glass...

what an interesting thought-- rain dripping down a window like blood. I think you may have just ignited inspiration in me there... The last two lines are my favorite. This poems got it all, starts with a dark mood and ends with hope. It's great. Keep up the good work
