“RELEASE THE RAIN, RELEASED INTO HEAVEN”
Written by: Stacey Louiso, June 7, 2017: In memory of my beloved dog, Zeus…
Staring out through dirty panes of glass
Eyes resting above the tree line
Lingering, dark clouds rest
Wondering glances interrupt processes
Waiting for rain to be released down upon this place
Hoping for a cleansing, sitting in painful memories
Desiring rain to wash clean what remains
Early morning on a late Spring day
Normally warmth the sun creates
Yet, these past few days a present chill
Resting on my skin, sensing You are near
Helping to release what pain remains
Stagnant, the clouds remain – withholding
Your will be done here
However, for now, emotions remain close
Stifling thoughts, inability to move
While waiting for rain to be freed of the clouds
Just as you, beloved, are now freed into heaven
