Crying In The Rain
Crying in the Rain …
On rain drenched streets
where strikes of lightning come to play
shadows wrestle in the night
As daylight cries in tepid pain
erasing all which light has brought
in abruptly passive pleasure
Clouds possessing misty reign
sweep through heedless skies
rolling upon indulgent craving greed
As barely lit inclining dark
bears that searing soaring serenity
that only pattering rain can bring
Deeply inside one roving mind
heart wrenching tears fall
while painful rain pounds evasive pavement
Glaring eyes of evaporating reason
pour outside those which wrap within
as one minuscule child cries in the rain

Very nicely penned, Donald. Emotive verse with great imagery. Well done, thumbs up.
Thank you very much, Phyllis. So many visions in my head coming together to play, resulted in this very poignant look at a very young person, so very alone, crying their heart out in the cascading vigilance of pouring rain.
