At first when the rain fell from the sky so wide and deepit smelled like sage, my favorite smell I went up on the plateau to watch it cometo see the gifts it always broughtbut this rain changed from blue to black and leftnothing.

About This Quote

The rain, once so beautiful and filled with the scent of sage, had become black and cold. The rain stopped falling and left nothing behind. Nowhere to go, no one to see me cry. I was alone and sad and the rain only made the pain worse. The rain was not a gift at first but it became one once it stopped falling and left nothing behind.
