Sadness like rain

Sadness

You fell down like the rain

In my soul

While raindrops ricocheted on a tin roof

I could feel

The tears forming in the corner of my eyes

But this is not a deep, dark, painful sadness

As in all those years gone by

This is more a gentle melancholy

Silently descending

That speaks of a home coming

An intouchness with my soul

And brings me comfort

I am alone

But I don’t feel alone

Anymore

How can I be alone

When I feel this much at home inside?

I look around and see so many blessings

The road to here

Was painful, dark and confusing

But now I find myself

In the deep dark gentle wildness

Of my heart

And I feel

Completely held

Completely at one

Completely home
