After The Rain Poem by Martina McCarthy

I found myself drowning
in my own tormented tears
nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
I begged for some forgiveness
from dark and lonely skies!

Life, had left me long ago
my body carried on
all my sorrow sealed beneath...
a soul to call upon

Empty of emotion
on bended knees I prayed
to touch your hand one more time
and chase the dark away!

Now we stand together,
a smile upon your face
The light ahead it shines a path
forever to embrace.

This road has been a mindful one,
your shoes a painful walk...
my only wish, to bathe your feet
and keep you safe and warm

No more a heart is bleeding,
surrendered to a anew
from far away a sign of hope
Happened upon my view
