Rain

by Laura Robinson

It falls down your face mixed with tears from pain and sorrow

As it pours down on you and beats into your skin, let it wash away the stains from unwanted blood and fears

It creates a feeling of pleasure you desire more than love, because you know not of mercy and grace that God has sent

Crashes of thunder fill your head disrupting the soft sullen voices of angels all around

Flashes of lightening blind your eyes to the beautiful faces placed in front of you

You run and scream to get away from the truth that you’ve hid in a casket of doom

Like worms rot the wood the stench of lies leak out and begin to unfold the past that was buried

Deep in the ground you prayed it would stay but rain floods the creeks and washes away the dirt and grim releasing the truth

Face your fears that long need reproof
