William Kofoed Poet Free verse

Rainy Morning

gentle does the rainfall
	in the cold dark night
but it can never wash away
	the things the darkness hides

her bright laughter as we played
	on warm summer days
in bright sunshine in the parks
	and on forests shaded trails

on bicycles with bright chrome
	riding together down country roads
fields of grain waving in the breeze
	as we passed on our way

of bright hope of children born
	and of their glad cries
of all the things that they would learn
	and all that they would be
	
of bright hopes and joyful plans
	formed in the dark of night
of all the dreams that we had
	for the bright coming days

time does ever slip away
	although we never do see
the things that we too often lose
	as it passes away

many dreams and hopes I had
	of all that I would do
in the bright in coming days
	now lost in the falling rain
