I feel the sounds of the rain.
Beating down upon my soul.
The clouds that hide the sun.
Take a horrible selfish toll.

I wish to be the new life.
That awakes upon the hill.
growing with every downpour.
instead I’ve had my fill.

The rain never renews me.
Instead it brings more pain.
Drowning in the downpour.
I’m lost to the pounding rain.

Soon after the storm has passed.
The flood no longer remains.
My darkest fears not realised.
My soul washed by endless rains.
