THE SOUND OF RAIN

The sound of rain
Smashing upon the deck
Leaving in its wake
Streaming trickles of fate.

To bead upon a window
To gather as a puddle
To wash a final blow
To nourish what lies below

The sound of rain
Mesmerizing captivating
Hypnotic drums stain
The painful flash of days lost in vain

To bathe in its drops
To let emotions erupt
To let the calm subdue
To sleep to its tune

The sound of rain
Crashes outside again
Once to remind me of my home
Twice to remind me of a lost home

This the sound of rain.
