The rain

The rain falls on the just and the unjust.
Is it God's tears or a woman's fears?
When it is silent it is like a prayer.
When it is violent it is like a curse.

The rain can ease pain.
The rain can take away blame.
The rain makes everything cloudy.
The rain makes faces all the same.

The rain is so elusive.
But the rain has its place.
The rain does not explain.
But the rain calls your name.
