Under The Rain
by Virginia Earl

She sat under the rain

Curled up as each drop

Washed away painful tears

But held onto teardrops of hope…

...Of the love she once knew 

She never looked up once

---

She sat under the rain

Curled up as if each drop

Protected her from the pain

As it washed it all away

Until several hands reached

Through the curtain of rain

As if wanting to rescue her

---

But she sat still and waited

And as the water rose

She waited and waited…

For the right hand to pull her away
While the rain washed it all away
She waited and waited...
For the hand of the soul she once knew
