The rain drops softly from grey bleeding sky
Running down cloud edge to roof
Streaking window to puddle upon sill
Splash splash splashing upon the tender ground
Rush down road and alleyway behind
Buildings grim-dark
Caged around with rusted metal and haunted –
Broken – staring – eyes
The world works hard, spinning day by day
Hurtling through vacuous vacuum
Vainly struggling to push off of nothing
And rush forward into the black
Pulling moon like puppy-dog
Barely keeping the sun’s seething time and pace
Exertion builds with each revolution’s effort
The rain drops softly from grey sweaty sky
The rain drops softly from grey crying sky
Injustice after war after hate after famine after
Weeping for those that die
Weeping for those that live
The greater tragedy unknown
A heart eternally broken, without comfort
Seeking solace in the infinite void
Not void, but God, hugs the traumatized world
The rain drops softly from God…
