Rainy Autumn Night

Rain gently falls this autumn night Her thoughts caressed in misty flight As she walks on the lonely lane Shadows cast a ghostly refrain There's not another soul in sight These peaceful vibes bring her delight This quietude, a welcome plight No noise to crowd her or constrain... Rain gently falls Pitter patter rhythms then invite Autumn's sad song to reach its height "Neath her umbrella she'll remain Within the fallen leaves domain Walking towards a distant light - Rain gently falls...... --- Contest name: Form R Sponsor: Broken Wings 6/30/17

I like these lines the most: "As she walks on the lonely lane There's not another soul in sight". Lovely! ;)
