Rain

Across the landscape it pours, the release is unrelenting
drenching the trees in sadness, who’s bearing now is down
Shadows form, replacing the life and colour
of the forest beyond my window
no longer within reach, no longer mine
Like an invisible artist creating patterns of grey
upon my once beautiful vibrant view, I feel she's introducing me
to a way of seeing, something new,
her outpouring has moved something within me too.
