Bartholomew Williams Poet Rhyme

Rhythm of the Rain

While lying in my bed, I leisurely listen
To the gentle rhythm of the rain on the roof.
As I notice raindrops on the windows glisten,
My eyelids hang heavy, I become more aloof.

Now safe and warm at the end of my day’s hurries,
Therapeutic drizzle helps wash away my pain.
Like a caring, comforting friend soothes my worries, 
I turn once again to the rhythm of the rain.
