Memorial Rain

“Memorial Rain”

On that day
So long ago
The rain fell
From God’s eyes
In slow, gentle
Teardrops of sorrow
As we stood
Huddled beneath
The flow
Our black umbrellas
Unfurled
A contrast
To the coffin
The flag
Now draped
Hanging
In wet precision
A tear laden
Heartbreaking
Morning
The rain fell
From God’s eyes
In silent
Understanding.
