Down Came the Rain

I trusted implicitly
I waited until my heart broke,
I then shouted at the vast emptiness
- and knew the rain would come.

Searching but not seeing,
Wanting but not having,
Questioning while knowing,
- that it's time for the rain.

From empty and clear
to dark and gray,
from anticipation to trepidation
- here comes the rain.

I looked out the window,
and hoped against hope.
Yet sure enough
- down came the rain.
