Description
"Dark Rain"

Boiling clouds of threatening murk,
Filling the sky from horizon to sights end,
Shadows deepen, creep and swell,
And lights seem dim and smothered,
The first drops fall

Remember; it's only rain

Thick sheets of glossy black,
Each drop like bitter corrosive tar,
Steak the buildings, paint the bricks,
Leave splashes of sorrow on the walls,
Leave tear marks on people's skin,

Always look forward; it's only rain

Trickling lines of sullen darkness creep,
Pouring over, around, and through,
Each path leeching heat, light, and life,
Like thieves taking happiness instead of gold,
Streets are dark as the rain falls

Keep your head high; it's only rain

Lights flicker and go dim,
With each colours slowly fading,
Shadows feeding hidden fears,
Bringing nightmares to half life,
And clouding hearts and minds with fog,

Pick your ground and stand firm: it's only rain

Always remember, make no mistake,

It's only rain
