Right As Rain
Disastrous free-fall
Into consuming ashes of heartbreak,
He landed with deafening thud.
Wounded, spirits deflated
Rivulets of tears, shed.
He soon rose like the Phoenix
To dizzying heights after
Misfortune mercilessly clipped
His mighty wings mid-air.
Down, down, down to earth
He plummeted, though
Spared Icarus' fate.
Then came his transformation,
For love worked its glorious magic.
Hemorrhage within him, stemmed.
Now he soars the open sky
With new wings sturdier
Than before; right as rain again.
