Three writings and images, with a "Theme"- 'Raindrops', 'Shine' and 'Change'

San Francisco rain, United States.jpeg

The sound of thunder in the distance,
Can mean the return of rain,
Or it could be simply that there is
Static electricity discharging
From the dust in the air,
Because of the lack of rain.

It all Revolves Around the Rain, it seems.
We can let the rain come and flood out our dreams,
Or we can let it feed them.

Let the thunder roll, but do not be afraid;
A sound Cannot hurt you, but can give you
Information.
Take the information and use it,
Absorb it so that you will be better prepared
For What Is To Come.

The rain can also wash away
The tears, that our chaotic, violent
World causes us to shed. Tears
Are good; they release the
Pent up anger and the
Anguish that our
Lives tend to
Create.
Don’t hold
Back the tears.

"Raindrops"

Nakalele Blowhole, United States Cc.jpg
The turmoil and torrents of chaos in the world, are
Outside you; keep them there.

Let all the strife and conflict crash against the rocks of
Your resolve.
Your inner strength is absolute. You are tested, but
You Will Persevere!

Stardust runs through you. The Tides of gravity
Pull you.
You are the universe in miniature. You blaze
With purpose. It is
Yours alone.

"Shine!"

In the depths of Winter, or in the coldest, bleakest times in our lives
No matter what happens, you can count on the Spring to come,
You know that change will happen, and without that
Change, you would still be the person you
Once were. That would certainly not
Be a good thing, would it?

“Change”
