THE SHADOWS OF THE SUN

I walk in the rain
and somehow the Sun's shadows don't fall on me
as they're blocked by clouds.

But I still manage to hang on to hope
as I walk through the dreary slant of the rain
with the cold puddles of water lapping at my feet

because I know that the clouds are a sign
that the Sun still exists to evaporate water
if only to pour its tears on my head.

The Shadow's of the Sun = Sunlight.
The clouds are the bad things that keep the good things out of my life The tears are the rain, and are a metaphor for my tears (even it's the Sun's tears in the poem.)
The 2nd last line is actually just to say that I know that the sun still exists because it evaporates the water (to make the clouds ultimately -- see the clouds, know the source), it's not significant that the Sun evaporates water in a metaphorical sense.
