A Pool of Tears

By: Steven Mather

A rolling, growling, rumbling sound,
permeates throughout the ground.
In sudden, forking, sparking white,
the bloated sky is stabbed with light.

A single, oily, spotted spatter,
quick becomes an urgent slatter.
Soaking drops of blessed cool,
join gleeful hands to make a pool.

Come turn your face up to the rain
and let it wash away your pain.
Your empty heart, now brimmed with showers,
will soon be filled with lovely flowers.
