I wish I had the rain 

The stormy clouds, the thunder and light 

Those flashing sparks of hopes and dreams

There are so many people who look to the rainbows 

Of unattainable color and fractal spirit 

Instead of those flashes of energy hiding in the comforting dark 

Why do people fear those hazy clouds that cover the horizon line? 

Do they worry for the sun? 

The rain brings blessings and peaceful quiet every time it graces me

The wildflowers and trees below accept their once in a lifetime gift as much as I

I wish I could stretch out and reach the sky just like them 

I wish my worries could be waiting for the rain 

I wonder if there are calculationsI could learn to find the meaning of the rain 

The angle of the lighting, the seconds between the thunder 

I could count them,

I could touch them with my mind if not my hands alone 

I could taste the clouds like my dear young self so desperately wanted to 

A naive childI wanted to grow wings and fly 

And I still do 

But not to soarI want to fly, fly away from here

I wish to see the rain and speak for it myself.

I wish I had the rain
