Tears in Rain

A proudy nature roars

and thunder strikes the earth.

The grey of the clouds

threatening to spill,

to cry out its tears.

Tears nourish

and yet they hurt.

The trees feel it,

they feel the grey pain 

of the clouds.

They are a solace  

to the howling wind,

the roaring thunder

to the weeping sky,

yet they threaten to collapse...

The tears in my eyes

they are our strength.

Stay strong,

I tell the trees.
