The Following are the result of a prompt in which we wrote from the perspective of a raindrop:

Women's Unit

Coming down like rain

such as the experience I've gained

Spent years in the Game

With no regret and no shame

Like an unexpected shower

Such is the mind's power

Mind over matter

I think every hour

It's all up to you

What you really want to do

Your mind is a sanctuary

It makes you You

So forget negativity

You manifest things

Use your brain power

like rain in the spring

Let it be refreshing

useful and cold

Let your mind stay open

Watch miracles unfold

So write about Rain

And things similar

If it weren't for rain

Green grass wouldn't occur

All things would be dry

Undernourished and dead

So use your brain to live happy

and be free instead.

Rain

I knew it was coming

The smell of it almost breathtaking

Gives me chills touching ever so lightly

All over my skin

Almost as cold as the concrete I'm lying on

It was the small things I took for granted

I sit dwelling on how I chose to take the path

yet again

To give another year of my life away

A year taken from my son and newborn girl

Angels I've yet to know

Like little raindrops lost in a world or souls

to be re-cycled to the ocean

Then back to the clouds above....

Sometimes, and now even more so

Now my heart like a raindrop

filled with love

falling from the heavens

Cause my mind's in Cloud 9

Scared as to where it will fall and break

Or should I say splash?

Waiting for the sun to dry away

My heart's broken memories

And the Past

-N.G.

Raindrops

For me raindrops are the beauty and pain

As a small child it wasn't easy to explain

How I came up with the story that God was crying for me

See, his tears had a power and that power was clear

I believed he was sad when he looked through the clouds

To see a young child staring at life already full of doubt

Every time it rained and it stormed

I'd sit alone and look up at the sky

It was the only time I could really cry

Mommy said He was washing my soul

Little did she know

Standing alone out in the cold, storm after storm

One day God's teary raindrop showers

would wash away the only thing I've ever known

Fear became a stranger & Love became my home
