To Float in the Rain by ~CirithX:iconCirithX:





Billowing clouds gather near the mountains
The wind blows at the long dead cactus flowers.
A distant wind chime is heard far away.

She sits at the edge of a cliff,
Looking across the barren wasteland.
She was pondering life,
As she had done centuries before.

The weather being hot,
No one dares venture out.
She is the immortal.
She does not feel.

She is beyond all beauty;
The most beautiful do not compare.
But she does not care.
She jumps from her perch,

To float to the ground,
in the pouring rain.
Pillowed by the fall,
She screams to the heavens,

"Why me?
What did I do?
Don't leave me to suffer in this wasteland!"
She looks to the sky and cries like the rain.

Author's Comments

umm.. something I wrote.. my friend gave me an in depth interpretation that was completely true:

The first line represents the Goddess' presence over all. As Mother Nature, the Goddess can be anywhere she wants to be at the time.

From the first two lines, I infer that it takes place near the mountains of a desert area. It is probably in the late summer, that being the time when the monsoon rains fall in the western United States.

The fourth stanza refers to the Goddess herself, the first two lines to me are merely for description: she is sitting on a ledge looking over the desert. The last two indicate the object of her thoughts- life. The word “centuries” is key because the Goddess is immortal, which also indicates that this topic of thought has been on her mind for quite some time.

The fifth and sixth delve more deeply into the character of the Goddess. Even though it is quite hot outside, in temperatures unbearable to life, she can exist. This is because she is everywhere and everything, a supreme being residing over the entire Earth. Heat is of no importance to her, as the same with beauty. The Goddess is the most beautiful being, because she simply is, and most god’s and goddess’s are portrayed as this. Wouldn’t it be fitting for the Goddess to be the most beautiful of them all?

The seventh refers to an action by the Goddess. She moves from her point of observation down to the ground with the rain. Then, she screams in a voice in the last stanza. I would take this as thunder, the power of her loneliness overcomes her and possibly, shows of her frustration at being left alone.
