You gaze outside you see them,
those dark clouds rolling in,
you know the rain is coming,
you feel it deep within.
You pull out your umbrella,
slip your gum boots on,
step outside, inhale the air,
this ache will soon be gone.
The heaviness you feel,
tears pooling in your eyes,
set them free, let them flow
with the tears-drops from the sky.
A license to slow down,
and block out all the world,
pour out your tired soul,
let your heart unfurl.
At first a salty trickle,
rolls gently down your cheek,
then the others follow,
and the ache begins to leak.
You feel the healing touch you,
it’s as if those rain clouds knew,
life was feeling heavy,
and you were feeling blue.
Teardrops from the sky,
can whisk your blues away,
allowing the light within you,
to shine upon your day.
Surrender, let them fall,
the hurt begins to fade,
to the rhythm of tiny raindrops,
in unison they cascade.
With each step you release,
all that made you sad,
after walking for awhile,
“It” doesn’t feel so bad.
What hurt you has now softened,
melting slowly to the ground,
carried away by streams of hope,
and that gentle tapping sound.
The heaviness in your heart,
the streaming from your eyes,
has now been washed away,
with tears-drops from the sky.
