Rain Like Tears

Rain like tears
 Earth cries like its children
Sometimes with joy
and sometimes with anguish

Storm clouds fill the sky
like they do the mind and soul
of mankind

Clouds of confusion
 Hazy light gray
wispy like wool

Clouds of anger 
Dark, dense, and overruling

Clouds of sadness
wet, cold, and clinging

A cool dewy spring morning
The Earth awaking slowly

A clear night
The Earth pondering 

A warm bright day the 
Sun smiling at Earth
and Earth smiling back 
with clear skies

The Moon shining
wistfully as Earth
sleeps

A tsunami
A hurricane 
An earthquake
A volcanic eruption

All the aroused rage of the Earth
Enraged at what its children
have done and become

But mostly
Earth sleeps
The weather turbulent
swirling emotions
The seasons 
expressions of its
personality

Earth loves all that lives
Just like the weather Earth's children's
emotions change
but more often their tears 
are ones of sadness
