Acid rain? or tears.

Drip

Falling, falling, falling

Faster, faster, faster

Closer, closer coming

Until suddenly splash

Flat silky waters resounding

Ripples

Emerging, Spreading,

Ever widening circles

Growing, Expanding

Breaking the perfect stillness

With impeccable timing

Pain,

Gripping as the ripples flow

Initially so intense,

But fading as the circles grow

Till only a diminishing memory

That one will ever know

Drip, drip, drip

More drops, falling faster

Breaking the apathetic stillness

This face of plaster

Drop, drop, drop

This rain is the master

Throbbing

More pain, gripping intensely

Transfixing, A red hot fire!

Burning so profoundly

Drip, drop, drip

Coming, overwhelmingly

Question

What is happening

What are these incessant drips

That down come flinging

Could it be tears and pain?

Or is it acid raining

Father

Is this an expression

Of my own acid rain

The hurt of my volition

The running I have done

The emptiness of my position

My child

These are the tears of my pain

For the lostness of this world

Your longing for earthly gain

I gently ask you to join me

It is an honor to share my pain.

Daddy

I’m sorry for my tendency to complain

I know You died for me

I want to join your pain

Though I feel it will kill me

Today I receive your rain
