Echoes Of Poetry

A moment in the rain

The rain poured down in sheets of grey 
As I walked the deserted street 
The only sound my shoes did make 
As I marched on through the sleet 

The city was empty, devoid of life 
No cars, no people, no signs of strife 
Just me and the rain, in a world gone still 
A solitary figure, with a heart to fill 

I thought of days gone by and dreams to come 
Of all the places I had been and the things I had done 
And in that moment, in the midst of the storm 
I knew that I was strong, that I would weather any form 

For life is like the rain, it falls on all 
The good and bad, the short and tall 
And though it may seem bleak and dark 
It also brings the chance for a fresh new start 

So let the rain fall, let it wash away 
All the hurt and pain of yesterday 
For tomorrow is a new day, a new chance to thrive 
To live and love and truly come alive.
