The Weight of Rain

There are moments

That make me sad

They appear as quickly

As storm clouds

That darken a summer’s sky

And they become

Centred around my heart

And I feel their heaviness

Like the weight of rain

So my smile becomes an umbrella

In this blue grey storm

And while these moments

Never seem to last long

The remnants of this rain

Leaves its mark

Upon my cheeks

For all to see

Writing Unbound
