my poem

This is a poem I wrote almost two years ago.

You are the only One

Don't You hear me crying?

The rain falls in torrents

Each drop searing its way to the very core of me

Bursting embers from within scream through what is left of my flesh

Exposed for all to see,

I cowar behind the mirage of a thick, white blanket

I perceive that I am engulfed by the vapor

Only to realize that what I have become is nothing I can hide

The agony of the rain and the burning of all that I hold dear

Brings my torment to its crescendo

Suddenly, I begin to break apart

Crackling and crumbling into heaps of dust

The pain heightens and I fear I will not survive

Through it all You are there, watching in silence

Why don't You help me?

I am dying, please stop the rain!

I collapse, dejected and wounded

All around me the swirling wind whips

And with it takes the unsteady particles that once represented me

Approaching footsteps strike fear, but only for an instant

I have died, what more can be done to me?

Still, You pick me up and begin to dress my wounds

Silently, but steadily You restore me until I can stand

Solely relying on Your strength

It is only then, in Your arms, that my eyes are opened

You brought the rain
