Dont Blame the Rain

This is killing me.  Everything turned hazy.  Dunno know what's next after this rain.  Could somebody please throw me one big, warm towel.  Big enough to cover my soaking self.  Better yet, go send me a friend with arms wide open, just about ready to take me in.  Embrace my body that has been chilling from the pain of getting lost amidst this storm.

But was it really the rain?  Or was it my tears?  The cloudy sky that covers me now ..... do I blame God's rainfall?   Or was it my smokey eyes dusted with pain?  When before I used to love afternoon drizzles. Loving it much as my feet get wet.  My own garden pink and green.  Taking time to smell the flowers and feel God's comforting hands touch my face.

But that is not how things are now.  Its summertime and warm in Manila.  When everyone sweating and enjoying their tan, I was just there lost int the crowd soaking wet.  I dont feel the sunshine.  Its cold and dark on my side.  The rest having the greatest time in the world, I weep silently by myself.  How Id wish, the pain would go away.  But sadness is loving me now, it will have to stay for some time.  And time, perhaps is not on my side now.  It bids goodbye --- again .... when its time.    

Nah, it wasnt the rain after all.  It was own my tears hurting me all the while.
