After The Rain Ends Poem by Gloraly Gomez

The sky turns dark and all looks bleak
A fitting end to this long week

The wind blows cold and cuts right through
The fog obstructs my field of view

A stillness falls, no soul in sight
Not even birds will dare take flight

The raindrops fall with gentle grace
And mix with teardrops on my face

I trudge along as I get wet
But I don't wanna go home yet

The petrichor, my favorite smell
Subdues my sadness very well

The flowers growing through the cracks
Inspire me to fight right back

After the rain ends, storm clouds go
Much like the sun, I start to glow
