“If you can’t stand the pain,
then come in from the rain,”
that’s what I heard him say,
but I didn’t know it’s meaning.

I got lost along the way,
somewhere between tomorrow and yesterday.
And his words echoed in my brain,
but I still didn’t know the meaning.

I thought I saw him today,
but it was just a memory of his face,
And then a stranger walked away.
It was then I realized his meaning.

I felt the rain upon my face
washing the pain away…
Now my heart could mend again,
when I understood the meaning.

My heart and mind washed clean,
I let him fade away…
He wasn’t worth the pain
the answer now was clear…that’s the meaning.

Come in from the rain (written work)

I wrote this poem many years ago after losing someone I loved dearly who did not return that love. I found I could grow through and recover. It taught me the meaning of the mental cleansing and the metaphorical healing of the spiritual rain that gives us new beginnings and lets us wash away the pain.

Lovely artwork! The poem expresses a wonderful way to view life’s difficult times. To be able to see benefit from pain is true spiritual healing.

I’m so glad to hear you got through the pain and came out the other side none the worse for it.

Thank you very much Jacqi. That is how we become useful to others, we understand their pain because we have been there and returned
