(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
The Rain Will Fall
A soft wet mist engulfs the city
As a blue sky fades into a sad shade of gray.
A dark and dreary rain descends
As the sun successfully hides from the day.
The wind howls like a wounded beast
As it swoops down with its twists and its swirls
Leading dead leaves in a frantic dance
And so another day unfurls.
The cold clammy fingers of the day overcomes you
As your happy dreams sadly fade away.
Your life seems so very dark and dreary
As you hopelessly try to hide from the day.
Your thoughts reach out for a shapeless past
As you retrace your life's twists and turns
In your frantic search to find yourself
Your day begins and your heart still yearns.
Be still, take heart, reflect a while.
For soon this will pass and then you will know
That behind that tragic mask you wear,
As behind the wind, the cold and the snow
That the sun still shines and the birds still sing.
For this sadness you feel befalls us all.
No one, as yet has lived untouched,
Because into each life some rain must fall.
- What causes you to feel blue? What from your past? What currently?

Hey Mel,
There are days when a person really finds herself down, but you know what I do? I go to my mum, and give a couple of cheap laughs :).
Of course, soon I will have to turn to my husband for that; but I am not worried, cause I know that he is my strength; and as long as he is by my side I can face anything :).
Ignorance, bigotry, betrayal, backstabbing make me feel blue at Humanity *nodding*. Other than that...not many things make me feel blue, Mel (perhaps because I am a happy person by nature). From my past: I have witnessed a lot of backstabbing, it's sad really...
From the present: nothing. I am too focused on my marriage :D.
Beautiful poem, Mel: you are gifted :D!
Now I am going back to Section III
Cheers
Max,
I am curious to find out if you see the differences between the 2 poems that same way that I do.
