Walking In the Rain ©Dawn Minott| with audio

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

No one sees my tears when I’m walking in the rain

Thoughts tumble over precipice like a runaway train

Swirling around in torrential emotions no way to restrain

No one sees my tears when I’m walking in the rain

There’s no denying my heart’s a delicate terrain

Beats free-falling cascading flowing o’er and o’er again

No one sees my tears when I’m walking in the rain

Emotions run amok like tsunami can’t contain

Blood pulsating racing through my vein

No one sees my tears when I’m walking in the rain

It’s war on the bodies of women and girls. It’s children massacred. It’s insane … this pain

Setting up like storm for a cloudy-dark reign

No one sees my tears when I’m walking in the rain

It’s raining

I’m going walking

For …

No one sees my tears when I’m walking in the rain

This song, “In The Rain” by The Dramatics, is so perfectly aligned, I had to set my poem to its opening chords and first few words.

      You are so right. No one really takes the time to even see your pain, so how would they even see your tear when it looks like raindrop on the vey tip of your lash. No one will ever see your tear in hen you are out in the rain. Thanks for that piece , I really needed it.

      1. Yeah often we go around masking our tears/pain. It’s a blessing to have people in our lives we can be real with and cry in the sunshine (or any time really). Thanks for stopping in Viv!!!!

    Sigh; I have started and stopped SO many times; trying to even BEGIN to put into words; my feelings as they relate to ALL that’s transpiring in our world. But when I am THIS hurt, that’s when words fail me. May the creator help us ALL!!

    1. collective SIGH. Times of deep sorrow is also when words fail me. It took me days to process this enough to write it out. Short of a global miracle I don’t see how things will get better. God help us!!!!
