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
