    Cry in the Rain


    Tonight I found grace to write again, with tears like rain in my heart
    Longing to see the pain go away, without much reign like it is on earth
    The cloud of endless expectations in the midst of meager resources
    Wondering how wealth could be created choosing the right sources
    The wind of confusion is gone with yesterday’s fatal errors
    Myriad of good intentions flood my heart but not without horrors
    Risen on the wing of opportunities one time too many without altitude
    Just as chasms are not crossed in two small jumps, I need a new attitude
    With so many well to do hoisting the flag of affluence upon earth’s plane
    I cry in the rain without a feeling of shame as no one can see my pain.

    This is a strong piece. I not only can appreciate what is written but also how it is written. Your writing reminds me of Walt Whitman. The imagery, metaphor and expression moves me to feel what you feel as fiercely as you feel it. You are a gifted writer.

    Tears are falling as I read this poem. Because you were writing my real pain It's just like I wrote it myself

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
