Rain (A Sonnet)

Watch the birds fly,
against the obscure skies,
flying everywhere – helter-skelter,
looking for shelter.
See the clouds encircle you,
waiting to cry over you.
The intense need to release their pain,
is expressed in the pouring rain,
as they want you to do the same,
to empty your sorrows along with the falling rain.
The pouring down rain,
washes my sadness away.
The pouring down rain,
makes my heart want to play.
