If you are a regular reader of my Empowerment Process please read the Section II version of this poem first; then read this version.
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 won't overcome me.
My happy dreams won't fade away.
My life no longer seems dark and dreary.
I will no longer hide from the day.
My thoughts won't reach for a shapeless past
No need to retrace my life's twists and turns.
In my focused search I have found myself
As my day begins without needless concerns.
I will quiet myself, and reflect a while.
And the sadness will pass because I know
That behind the mask I used to wear,
As behind the wind, the cold and the snow
That the sun still shines and the birds still sing.
For this sadness I felt befalls us all.
But I now know to see beyond.
Because into each life some rain will fall.
(An Original Poem by Mel Kaye)
I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.
- How will you now deal with life when it rains on you?

I love the poem and especially the rain falling pic. Where did you get it? Rain is my favorite weather. I should come here for inspiration more often.
Thanks.
Mimi,
Inspiration, empowerment and attitude is what my site is all about. If you can't get inspired here, you can't get inspired.
I came across this pic quite a while ago, but needed the perfect post to show it.
Hi, Mel!
I've got an award for you here:
Treasure Award
Amelia,
I'm on my way.
Hello again Mel,
What can I say? After any turbulance comes peace and joy.
Knowing this, when bad times come along I stay still, take cover and start designing a strategy; then when the tempest is gone; I implement my plans. Of course I am not always successful in taking cover; sometimes I am stupid enough to want to face the storm; but I am learning...nowadays I react less, and think more.
When you say " I now know to see beyond" I know exactly what you mean: sometimes a situation seems one thing, but in truth it is the other (the owls are not what they seem). I learned how to see beyond the apparent reality (and this requires thought...that is why I react less, nowadays: I want to bestow upon myself time to think...no more wasting time, no more).
When it rains on me I will welcome the rain cause whatever it brings it is necessary for my personal growth and journey on earth.
This poem is marvellous, it had the same beginning of the previous one, right? Well thought :). Congratulations!!!
Cheers
Max,
What can I say, you've got it. Reactions are in our control.
The main difference between these poems and Section II poems is that these are First Person (I).... Ownership as opposed to just understanding.
