As rain falls

clean clear and cleansing

thoughts once joyous turn sorrowed

as images not formed, but appear

and feel the voices of tears

Clouds heavy of sorrow drop their tears

Single dove she cries of mourning

Droop of willow hangs her head

Wolf howls none answers

Moon pale in pining

Bear bellows her anguish

White rabbit injured whining

Wind wails her longing

Thunder roars her pain

Snow grieves in silence

Lion of mountain whimpers

Screech of hawk, the split of broken heart

Waterfall, endless shout of flowing searching

Canyon echoes never answered

Emptied clouds grow dark of torment

Voice of sun grows dim

Promise of rainbow unheard

Stones cold and barren silent

Raven shrill of ear-pierced lament

Voice of eagle no more heard

Sounds of sorrow cease

For none so wounded so loud so long

As eyes and face and heart

of strong and fearless brave

cries long without his woman

As rain falls

clean clear and cleansing

thoughts once joyous turn sorrowed

as images not formed, but appear

and feel the voices of his tears
