Analysis of the rain
eventually
everything around falls
i blame gravity
as the rain washes
the sky clean of her troubles
we watch her tears fall
the ground flourishes
as he soaks in her sadness
he can now breathe in
a breath of fresh air
unlike any storm that's passed
it stings with new life
shriveled growth reaches
gasping for rain that doesn’t come
her tears have dried up
the ground can not breathe
without tears from another
there must be balance
balance is needed here
because the trees seek vengeance
the sky is selfish
she holds her tears in
for the trees are selfish too
she wants happiness
the ground cracks and breaks
he wants the sky to smile too
so he cries instead
unleashing the fire
his tears burn the selfish trees
the ground is selfish
the sky and the ground
they hurt all those around them
all for each other
the sky once again
weeps for the ground below her
but she is not crying
and the ground cries out
but it is not sorrowful
they are tears of joy
for the trees are gone
they can no longer create chaos
by craving anguish
now a garden grows
in place of the trees' sadness
new flowers can bloom
soaking up the tears
that now fall from happiness
new beautiful growth
even the flowers
as delicate as they come
once bloomed they fall too
everything is
ephemeral at its best
fleeting at its worst
but for a moment
before everything falls
there is happiness
