It seemed the drops would never stop falling
Clouding my vision through an already fogged window
The focus of my view had always seemed relatively clear
Except for an occasional errant thought which like a hailstorm
Would blur my vision with disturbing frequency
Perhaps when this current downpour clears,
My clarity will once again return,
Cleansed by the shower of reality
