A Man In the Rain

Cinnamon whiff dives on my sill

and raps a music of wind chimes.

Pearly the rain, trickling, until

she drapes the windowpane. Air 
mimes

the balmy drift frosting twilight,

a magic to be shared. I might

just wake you now, then—
dream by

while tip-taps croon a lullaby.

Reminds me of Gene Kelly's "Singing in the Rain" and I just feel your manly joy. Such a melodious piece wonderfully designed!
