Tears in the Rain

Tears in the Rain

It was warm, the feeling of the first drop on my cheek,
Was it the rain that was all around me, or was it the tears from my heart?

Mindless as I walked through the new paths of darkness,
No sunshine ,no stars, no lights there to guide me !

Small swirling streams, that made new roads to nowhere,
Ominous thunder, that made me wonder where I was heading ?
No start , no end , just a never-ending flow,
Is this the rain , or the tears , and my sorrows unending ?

Bewildered was I at this new and strange feeling,
Where was my sunshine, my romance, and what was my bearing ?
Will I fall into the whirlpool , that just suddenly appeared?
Instant transportation to an untold world of grey !

I try to understand how this rain come about
I had to know what brought these tears, or were they just rain drops ?
God, give me the wisdom , to know myself better,
Sometimes why am I a stranger, to my very own person ?
