Spring Rain

The rain fell gently through the night It tapped upon my window pane Like friends from days of long ago Who called for me to come and play I listened for a child like voice But only heard the cold wet wind It moaned and whispered in my ear Until it calmly died away This call I will not answer now I'll stay within my cozy den I'll sit beside my friendly fire And listen to the rain come down And here I'll rest and dream and sigh While nature plays her lullaby (free flowing sonnet)
