The Rain Will Fall

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. (Original Poem by DragonHorse)
