"On This Rainy Day"

Drops of rain tear off from the clouds
Falling to the pavement in puddles
Dirt turns to mud.
Flowers begin to grow.
Roads become flooded.
Down the rain pours in heaps of bliss
Calm.
Peaceful.
Serene.

Tears are breaking away from the sky
Crashing to the pavement in waves
Sunshine turns to clouds.
Smiles begin to fade.
Conflict rolls on in.
Hurt.
Disturbed.
Distressed.

My whole world has flooded
..and I'm not quite sure if I can swim.
