Rain Dance

I stared out through the open window,
The sky overcast with grey clouds,
Making the surroundings gloomy.
“Just like my mind?” I wondered.
I was sitting alone in my room, reminiscing
Those memories, and those times,
Which never again shall be!
Were they too distant a past?
A voice in me urged to bury them deep,
To forget her who had left my hand.
But, how could I?
Then came the rain, drizzles at first,
Torrential minutes later.
Were the heavens mourning at my pathos?
The fresh scent of the soil turned me on,
I sensed myself to be in nature’s lap.
A gush of water was forming within, waiting;
Then tears flooded my eyes, down my cheeks they trickled.
I could confine myself no more!
Running out, I felt the raindrops caressing my body;
They touched me, and played with me,
A divine feeling of losing myself to Life and Eternity.
The rain was cleansing me,
Purging the sorrow, the emotions within.
I perceived my feelings, my love,
And those memories melting away;
Her portrait getting blurred every moment.
As I stood out into the open rain,
I felt the raindrops consuming my tears,
Or was it the other way round,
My teardrops dissolving the rain?
