What would the rain say? ----Michelle Liew

I do not ask for a welcome note.
I knock when I must---
Gentle, or harsh---
To remind you that my ways will help you grow.
βπ§οΈπ§βοΈπ¦οΈππ§οΈβπ¦ππ§οΈβοΈββπ§οΈπ§βοΈπ¦οΈππ§οΈ
You run for shelter,
Curse the clouds,
Forget that the flowers you love
Begin in dark soil, watered and grown by me.
βπ§οΈπ§βοΈπ¦οΈππ§οΈβπ¦ππ§οΈβοΈββπ§οΈπ§βοΈπ¦οΈππ§οΈ
I do not come to hurt you.
I come to soften the Earth ,
To loosen your dirt,
To let you grieve what you must leave.
βπ§οΈπ§βοΈπ¦οΈππ§οΈβπ¦ππ§οΈβοΈββπ§οΈπ§βοΈπ¦οΈππ§οΈ
Please understand---
My storms are not punishments.
At times, I fall
For your fresh, clean start
One without fear
Of getting wet.
