Rain

Overlook the saddened pleas of those who request for your removal

To I, you bring joy and pleasure

To others you bring only misery

Don’t go away

Don’t come again another day

I stroll among the empty streets

Peering at the gray clouds

Falling gently on my hair

The rain dancing upon my lips

I open my mouth to catch the rain

Please stay

Tapping at my window, as if you want to come inside

The soft pitter-patter of the rain upon the roof

How it cascades and struggles out

An overflowing water spout

Restless

Cuddled up in the blankets of my bed

There can be something soothing

About a day of pouring rain

A strange sort of comfort

To enter the heart of peace and rest

You’re like a lullaby

Aimlessly in deep slumber

softly whispering, “goodnight”

Oh, rain

So delicate

I shall never see again

Your tears

Something so pure,

So plain
