Crash, bang, roar,
rain.
Peace, quiet, radiance,
colors.
Rain is
Suffering.
Rain was
Loss.
Rain always is
Tears.
Without rain there is no
rainbow.
Sustain the rain.

It's about all the bad things that happen to us in life. But the bad things turn out to make us a better person... that's what I was thinking when I wrote it.

In this poem I'm trying to explain the feelings of loss that soon get better (hence: "Without rain there is no rainbow) sorry you didn't like this poem.
