Tears Beneath the Rain

I went out to stroll in the rain
Cause my heart is weighing me down
My tears I cannot hide in vain
It is now that I can’t help but frown

I thought the clouds were there to cry
But no, heaven was not in pain
And I beneath it left to sigh
Trusted my disguise to the rain

I took a shade beside an old tree
To search myself and question God
What would the world miss without me?
Creating me was rather odd

Then, a dead leaf fell on my head
As if a reminder of life
I won’t realize till I’m dead
Its significance with the strife

Guilt suddenly flooded in me
For God meant life to be a game
He wanted me to be happy
And there I was cursing his name

The brilliance of the sun came back
And it dried my sorrow away
My feet were leading to the shack
And my heart forgetting the day

If the broken love hadn’t pushed me
To set out in the rain and cry
Perhaps until now I can’t see
That there was reason to ask why

It is foolish to think that life
Can just be filled with what we see
And what was brought out by the strife
Is the only answer for me
