Rain pounds down upon the sidewalk, <br />Flooding ditches, drenching earth, <br />People hurry to and fro, <br />Umbrellas up against the drops. <br /> <br />I stand alone outside the crowd, <br />Hands in pockets, head held low, <br />My face shadowed by a hood, <br />Watching raindrops splash in puddles. <br /> <br />Tears slip unbidden down my face, <br />Falling with the cold raindrops <br />As I lift my face to the heavens, <br />Teardrops, raindrops on my cheeks.<br /><br />Anne Rhitak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heaven-s-tears/
