IN ITS ARMS

Sadness was here smothering her
In its arms
Desperation set his dark coat around her
Her strength was weakening
Draining from her body
The rain began to fall
Sprinkling its wetness on her head
Its drops going down around her face
Mingling with tears to continue on their way
Slowly the water came down
Paths of darkness were washed away
As the rain came faster
A brightness started to shine in her
Drenched in water a newness overcame her
Happiness set his bright coat
On her shoulders
Joy was here caressing her
In its arms.
