Rain Sounds

When the sky falls upon its head
Upon a cushion of cloud 
Or any work in progress due

I lie upon my pillow
And as night falls in June
Only rain will do

Rainfall brings my sleep
Its intentness but repeat
Brings about a calm to my day

Its beautiful and constant
Bringing with it a fresh familiarity
i find makes my worries drift away

Into a world when i awake
I find i have gone to sleep 
In a dream that has no abounds

When i awake and its gone
I simply say 'Alexa'
'Play rain sounds'

When we need it I love the sound…when it rains every day nonstop…I want it to stop. It does help many to sleep.
