Rainy day, wash away
The person who I used to be
The person who I didn't see,
The person that I couldn't love
Rainy day, wash away
The painful, bitter memories,
The heartbreaks and the agonies,
The times I had to rise above.
Rainy day, wash away
The boulders getting in my way,
The struggles I choose to downplay,
The ropes and chains bound around me.
Rainy day, wash away
All of the sins of yesterday,
All of the ills I have today,
And let me live a future free.
– SR Romney 2023
Feel the cleansing torrent of rain fall
Sanctifying all it touches;
Baptism by floodwaters.
Creative destruction,
Bestowed on mankind
As reminder:
We will fade
With the
Tide
– SR Romney 2022
Getting soaked on my walk home
Because there are holes in my umbrella
Maybe it’s just a habit
For me to use it whenever it rainsBut more likely, I find it comforting
Even as the years go by
It’s always here to keep me company
As I splash in the puddles
– Shaman Romney 2021
Pitter patter
My thoughts scatter
Like rain drops in my mind
A constant torrent that won’t relent
At best my mind is like Seattle
At worst its a monsoon
It’s like I live in a steel roofed house
Eventually all the metallic static
Becomes synonymous with silence
Most of my ideas get lost in the flood waters
I’m only left with the biggest, the best, the worst
Imagine what I could do
If I wasn’t mostly water.
If I was filled with sunny days
And springtime weather.
