Rain

Rain always makes me thoughtful.

I stare out the window

Into the carnage 

Of thousands and millions of falling drops

And wonder

Why can’t humans create something so beautiful?

Like shattered crystal plummeting

It’s sometimes hard to force myself

To believe in logic and facts--

There are no angels

But where else could such beauty come from?

My dismal ideals

Fall down from their clouds

It’s so hard to believe in beauty

To believe in rain

So true indeed, those crystal shards sparkle and plop right down like silver streaks, a speck, but still dazzling. Life, on the other hand, can be full of shattered hopes and dreams, cruelty, a vile wretched chasm of despair, and ugliness... Sometimes it's hard to find, real beauty, and harder still to believe in it when you find it because appearances aren't always what they appear to be ;)

Rain is the best time of day. The best time of life is night (my opinion). You described my most favorite time of day into a million words that I can't produce because that's hope awesome it is. I love the way you free wrote and really admire your style :)

Love your work bro!
