The Day It Rained 7

It's getting lighter as the rain seems to be ending soon.

The poem I wrote almost 20 years ago was to impress someone... I don't know specifically...
I saw an older video last night called "Crazy Moon" and, honestly, with what I have been going through the past six months, the movie hit my heart really hard.
I took great interest in the movie after reading the write-up for it on the back side of the tape case... I had the movie in my possession for a few weeks and finally chose to watch it for the first time last night.

What hit my heart so hard?
Not in specific order, but sometimes all at once...
Very cute girl
I love big-band music
My mom and step-dad are deaf
I have wanted to show visually to a deaf person (woman, as my heart races to my sleeve) what it sounded like when it rained.

As I watched
Two emotions dancing in the rain
slowly falling drops sputter on the pavement
Barely heard by anyone else
closely followed by another
Wetting every pore...
And it just keeps coming
Repeating, dropping, splashing
One alone cannot be heard.
More than ten awaken ears.
Love engulfed by the sweet lull
tapping wet, moisture fills dry earth
falling like tears never being overdrawn.
Caressing sand and rocks cooling from
heated pressure, all released in great sigh.
And I wonder, will the rain
ever cease on this day?
The sun dries rain drops
The Son dries tear drops,
Both give off light and heat
but the Son gives it to the heart
and the other to the eyes.
And as our I's feel the impression,
a change overcomes what we see.
Blindness sees with the heart felt words
while eyes see blindly with out the heart.
Living with out eyes could give you better sight
in the way you feel the way you do.
Like when you see it rain.
It's quiet, and if careful,
you will see it by hearsay that it dances...
tapping on the pavement, filling the earth
wetting the pore.
Let yours be filled with love.
