Upside-Down Umbrella

Folder: 
Soul Poetry

Plundering through days

of melancholy rains

dancing off my mind,

collecting in my soul.



Upside-down umbrella,

drops pooled to overfilling,

cascades over

upturned edges.



Standing in the

midst of a waterfall

contemplating

all this moisture.



Skies, clear.

Sun, out.



From where

do

such rains

commence?



An answer lies

within a reflection.

The glass-like mirror

this storm creates.



Not rain

that surrounds me,

threatening

to drown.



Not storms

of outside

but those

of inner.



Tears

of my

own making.
