(Poetry) Lost in the Rain

Lost in the Rain Rain on my cheek Hiding falling tears Autumn in New York Leaves crunch softly Cushioning my footfall The moon hides in clouds Slate blue black skies Cool air sends shivers Hugging myself walking My destination unknowable My heart torn in confusion A million directions to go Yet only one can truly prevail My fingertips feel numb Lost in thought and tears Where does my heart belong The lifelong question beckons Never offering any reply Rain washing thought away Tears purging the surface Perhaps the truth beneath A season of falling leaves Winter kiss and cold loss Nothing to warm the heart Hold fast to a shard of light The tiniest bit of courage That is the reflection of hope ©Angel Hart 2012
