Rain Story Poem by Emma Vander Dussen

You are a thought within a rainstorm
Every dropp whispering your name
Like the whispers of comfort to lonely hearts
Drifting through the stormy skies

I hear you in the rain when I wake
And the sight of your whispers lead me to your storm
Where I dance and smile and sing your graces
Never to feel alone and unloved

I walk beneath your grey and rolling world
Wondering if I will be blessed with your whisper
I beg the skies to release you and pour onto me
The undelighted mysteries of you

And when your tears mix with the sun
Where I lie and smile at the world
It is to see grace fall across the planet
When you and I dance as one

I live within the light, and you in the storm
I forever stand just beyond the beauty of you
And you are lost to whatever I may give
And here we stay, whispering

You rush with your gales and I warm with my patient fire
You are gone before I can but gasp at your beauty
When the world is darkened by you they dream of me
And in my heat they long for you, will we ever be free?

We are chained to their dreams and longings
Only to meet when they believe in the special grace
That exists when our smiles happen as one
Creating the beauty of me in the crystal clarity of you

You are a thought within a rainstorm
And I a dream within the sun
Let us each love the lonely hearts
Drifting through our severed skies

One day we'll be united again
And fill the world with untold joy
With colours beyond the dreams we know
And all will speak 'You are loved by me'
