Rained inside and out

sat by my window, reading
It rained within as I read.
The raindrops, the overcast
Building up inside my head.
The quiet outside, I could not hear
The storm within, fathomless.
A storm so full of despair,
The rain inside, ceaseless.
The rain then poured, ever-so-more
Flooding the depths of my hollow heart.
It overflowed out of silent eyes,
Dripping on the book, as it part.
A falling drop then caught my eye,
Not within. Without.
A fresh downpour, now greeted me,
Not inside me, but out!
My sad heart now soaked itself,
In the delightful burst of cloud.
The wind, the thunder, the rainy spell,
Dispelled the dark, stormy shroud.
I sat by my window, pondering.
As it rained, watching in glee.
The innocence of the falling drops
Finally got the better of me.
The peace inside, mesmerizing
I saw the storm in new light.
The rain inside, was now out,
Despair was now pure delight!
