Poem 1. I WANT TO SMILE IN THE RAIN

The rain is pouring
In this velvety skin
Making a poignant rhythm.

The tears, they fall
Like raindrops, too cold
As memories are recalled.

Hear, oh hear me
This heart must be free
Forever could be my plea.

Free me, oh free me
From this love into thee
A dream it will always be.

Am I just a victim
Or someone who's willing
To be captive forever?

No, please just walk away
Oh, memories don't stay
Freedom- I must say.

I long, I like
I dream, I love
To smile. To laugh.

Just a simple prayer
Please listen, do hear.
I want to smile in the rain...

This reminded me of the favorite line from Og Mandino : " I love the rain for it cleanses my spirit" .

I long, I like
I dream, I love
To smile. To laugh.

And smiling in the middle of the rain is such a gentle sunny disposition to stay upright.
Keep going, Dhaye. :)

The longing for freedom, for inner peace, is palpable in your words. What a powerful midi you have chosen to accompany your words! To break out of the role of victim is not easy, but it seems this character is on the right path. Rain is cleansing for the earth and for those who choose to walk through it....to come out on the other side. Very well written. Intense. Lydi**

This is an old piece, but after reading an inspirational story from my favorite writer today, I have learned something about rain. Now, I want to change my attitude towards it...because it's not as worst as I thought.
