Draining

As the rain bounces off the cold hard concrete
Such a dark and gloomy grey making the sun so discreet
Wet weather washing whether we like it or not
Praying for sun to come and dry the drizzle we fought
When it rains it pours and the thunder it roars
Short flashes of fury lighting up the indoors

A trickley tap tapping as the house cat is napping
Flapping her tail furiously at the thunder that's clapping
Tic turns to toc from the slow unyielding clock 
As we talk of how time is taking two times the length to mock

From a long hollow gaze out the window we see
A beam of broken light breaking through the misery
A drop of the heart and hope is regained
A calming stillness as our worries are drained
