Rainfall
the rain falls, dissonant at dawn,
clouds move overhead.
echoing the things you wrote
and of the things you said.
and as the forceful rain falls down
it comforts like a friend.
i love to hear the rhythmic sound,
it thrills me to no end.
so keep on falling from the sky
and nourish all that's real.
and i will marvel, lost in sound
and moments i can steal.
for in those stolen moments are
the wonder and the notion:
those raindrops will someday go far
and end up in the ocean.
and when i think raindrops can jaunt,
then i think: so can i.
it's then that i know what i want:
to travel through the sky.
i'll travel 'cross the country
till i reach my destination.
now that's the perfect plan for me,
a perfect revelation.
something tells me life awaits,
and living is for me,
i'll keep on going till i reach
a distant shining sea.
so when the rain falls
i recall all that for which i strive.
i can transport like the rain
and someday i'll arrive.
