Washing Away the Blues

Folder: 
2002 Poetry

The rain drizzles down as I walk along

Humming, dancing and singing a song

Walking in the rain is wonderful thing

It's one of the joys into your life it can bring



The drops in you face make you squint so slightly

Putting a smile in your heart that shines so brightly

You walk along losing all track of time

Letting the water wash away the grime



The grime that lingers from life's misfortunes

That just seem to stay like windless balloons

Until you feel the moisture soaking through

Getting rid of everything that makes you feel blue



It's good for your soul and disposition too

Making you think about things that are true

True to your heart and soul that give meaning

Things that are pure and need no intervening



When you're done you are soaked but really don't care

Because you've looked within and become fully aware

Of what it means to live life and enjoy what you've got

Rather than feeling depressed about what you have not
