Notes About The Poem

We Will Walk Our Rains - Collab: James Fraser

WE WILL WALK OUR RAINS

Welcome the falling rain with a rainbow smile
dripping onto our face rippling even the sea.
Flowers and bushes mottled wet along the aisle
together in the pouring rain, running with glee!

Without a care in the world the brackens spree
and beneath the trees nesting birds hide in style,
beholding this vista, we both are in agree:
Welcome the falling rain with a rainbow smile!

Soak and cold, hugging for warmth is worthwhile
and so is hearing the  rains' staccato percussion keys
in a moment of stillness... Some cascading vile
dripping onto our face rippling even the sea,

some bring frowns, worse-- tears to our eyes
but having a beloved through every miles
may lighten dark skies. Hopefully,  those guise
flowers and bushes mottled wet along the aisle

dry as the sun rises, wiping natures cries.
Under the sun, under the rain: dance and be free!
Breathe! Drink their essence... Release some sighs
together in the pouring rain, running with glee!

The rain and the sun: like a couple sustaining life~
garnishing both the earth with gregarious greens.
May we be like them: partners holding no strife...
The yins and yangs now smoothly  hurdled in between
welcome the falling rain...
