When you look up

in the tumultuous rain

do you see the sky falling?

Do you feel the sky's tears

thundering for help

as white-hot lightning strikes out?

Do you hear the ground praise

as it soaks up the drops

listening closely like a friend?

Do you smell the fresh agony

as the clouds weep and rain

pouring out their souls to you?

Do you see the sky falling?

Or when you look up

does it feel like you're flying?

Do you feel the wind calling?

because the sky is falling

Flying up as the sky sobs today

Hey Everyone!! Someone once told me that if you looked up in a rainstorm it either looked like the sky was falling or you were flying. I love rain. There's something truly remarkable about water falling from the sky even if you end up with soggy shoes and an inside-out umbrella.
