Rain

Well, i usually don't post around here, i used to write, but i don't do it anymore.

Today i was going through some old CD backups and found some old things i wrote years ago, this one was for my sister, who went away several years ago and never came back, i was really sad when i wrote that, and well, i guess i am still sad, but in a different way, but anyway, here it is:

The essence of the soil, after the rain
Brings to me, an old hidden pain
It brings dreams of times gone by
It brings dreams of joyful times

These rain drops slowly falling
Filling the earth with life
Turn my soul into melancholy and sadness
Take away happiness one more time

Could it be that I remember those days?
When everything in me was full of life
Those thousand moments so great
Happiness lasted forever, not to ever die

Could it be that I remember those summers
When we all together use to travel
Far to that magical land of the elders
Filled with dreams, filled with marvel

I remember those days
When we were still small
How good we all felt in every way
Always smiling no matter what

Those very warm moments
Bring back to me a thousand dreams
And the essence of that rainy soil
I close my eyes, am I there again?

Those very cold mornings
When we use to sleep until late
Thinking only in our games
Never wondering what happens next

How I miss being all together
How I miss to see you smile
Laughing at dumb jokes and tales
Has been years since it said bye

I was just a kid then
Last time I see you there
I remember when your smile
Slowly you took away from my eyes

And still remember it was just temporary
That you were supposed to soon come back
But, why am I still waiting for that day
Why am I forgetting how things really are?

Can't remember the sound of your voice
Why is that? I feel such a distress
I want to know how it feels to grow
Together with someone I can't accept to forget

How long till I can feel all those things again?
How long till you can come back to our lives?
When will you stop being a voice without a face?
When will come the day, when I can embrace you again?

...I miss you sis...

Very heartfelt and stirring!! Thank you for posting it!!!! And if I might say this...you should write more, you have a great talent for it!

Awwwww, so touching and so sad. I have lost many people in my life. I know how it feels to say goodbye.

great im sure a mod will move this to the writing forum soon

Thank you all for your comments, i really appreciate them, i have forgotten mostly about writing these days, in the past, i started writing a book, but i wanted to live other things and so i dropped most of what i was doing at that time.

Maybe I'll take back writing soon, i was too focused on 'living outside' that i really forgot how it feels to write what i have inside.

I have a few other things i would like to post here, but i need to look them up.

Thanks again!

Kai
