Rain Pain Poem by James Casey

Rain Pain

Dark thunderheads, skirt across the sky
My knee aches, my shoulder hurts
Trailing wisps, of blue-black gray
I tell everyone, ' A storm is headin this way'

I'll tell any person, that I see
I don't think, they really care
You see the pain's only, centered in me
And I make sure, they're all aware

I remind them all, how much I am in pain
I have aches until, there's finally rain
While raining, the pain is gone
But if it stops, pain returns again

Now the sun is back, it's back in town
And I am able, again, to get around
Ah the sun, it's a glorious day
No pain for me, at least today

But, I know, it will, be back soon
For the weather here, is never stable
It could by evening, morning or at noon
I would stop it, if I were able
