Seek and ye shall find

As time stood still,

on this rainy and windy night
Drops of rain pitter patter against
the cold wet stone

A naked lonely soul outside
unclothed, wet and hungry
His heart full of sadness and grief
He walked with each step brings
memories of family and departed loved ones

A window appear in his sight
He peered in the window
remembering the memories he had
once of his dearest
his parents
brothers
sister

But, no face was seen
No laughter nor singing could be heard
only the sound of rain echoing
in the empty street

As he searched and wandered
A lit candle flickered did he see
He began to knock on the door
Once, Twice, Thrice

No one answered
His hunger grew more
His heart grew heavy
His hope began falter
With a great sigh, He walked into the rain

There in the street, he stood,
soaked in the soft gentle falling of the rain,
He close his eyes and stretch his arms,
embracing the sky like someone he knew,
He smiled,
He was just happy to be alive.

Rain drops became to fall heavily
Eyes open
Tears of sadness wiped away
Replaced with tears of joy

Once was lost,
He had found
In his stillness
His dearest love is gone from his sight
But, dwell in a better place.

With this thought in his mind,
A door opened
A friendly familiar face appear
Come in Dad, it's raining
A young girl with a umbrella
