0 Guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 It sounds like you're lonely because you're deaf. You stand in the rain to feel it, and look for the birds but hear nothing. Rain is always heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain is always heard. Holy crow. That's a brilliant answer! I wish I had thought of that. Sadly, mine is nothing so involved. It is a simple feeling. There are a couple key words that allude to this answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
deannaart
I'm standing in the rain today
Letting the drops run down my face
No umbrella to hide me from
Their anguished, silent, falling grace
I let it drench my hair and shirt
As I look to the gloomy sky
No birds flitting here and about
The world seems ready to die
I stand and absorb the emptiness
And listen to the lack of sound
I feel the way this place feels today
Like the puddle of mud upon the ground
