Like tears in the rain

I held your hand tight During the dark of the night When darkness held sway Wondering what was but could not stay These things now lost in time Like tears in the rain And when the light returns Precious as it burns For the light will show the way Chasing the darkness away These things now lost in time Like tears in the rain We the travellers move on Along the pathway we have won And our soul is nurtured true Not left or right but straight through These things now lost in time Like tears in the rain In the end what does it matter In the background incessant chatter As eternal whisperings around desolate shores As they lap and are gone forever more These things now lost in time Like tears in the rain © Paul Warren Poetry
