The rain doesn't hate me anymore

There is no telling
when this storm will
abate
so until then I'll weave
a little story here
and hope to pass the time.

I'll write this
Easy-Mac poetry
stir up the words, add water
perhaps I'll make something amazing

The rain pours down outside
the leaves float
among willow winds

And I am reminded of the tears
I once cried,
and of the pieces of myself
I had to collect

The rain hurt for a long time
the remembering
was as bad as the rebuilding
and the rain hurt
hurt so bad

Someone asked me today why
I was always so happy
I told them
I am happy because
the rain doesn't hate me
anymore.
