The Rain

Â
She walked in the pouring rain.
Alone in the rain she remained.
And on her shirt left a stain.
She was soaked in the pouring rain.
Â
The icy drops fell on her vein.
The mascara and makeup did wane.
And it ran down her face and the lane.
She’s a mess in the pouring rain.
Â
But for her it covered the pain.
It shadowed the stress and the strain.
Drops kept her from going insane.
She was sane in the pouring rain.
Â
Alone with her God who contains,
All to know of the world that’s mundane.
And He shall forevermore reign.
She’s with Him in the pouring rain.
Â
He’s her comfort and He is her cane.
For the tears now she cannot retain.
Nothing to lose. All to gain.
And she cries in the pouring rain.
Â
For no longer -she cannot complain.
With the cooling spots calming her brain.
And the puddles forming once again.
She is Jane in the pouring rain.
Â
She walks past the house, sees the pane.
Trickling, the gutter did drain.
The sky still it could not abstain.
She saw “Free” in the pouring rain.
Â
The rain drops kept pelting her mane.
Did not take her pain away- feigned.
Her tongue out, the rain she attained.
She’s alive in the pouring rain!
