9/4/07 03:12 am - filled gutters, over flow
The Rain
You see it now?
The rain
It drifts in from the south
or north
It doesn’t matter, It drifts
I love the rain
The rain is the great equalizer
Most people get pissed
Their plans wrecked
I find it right - the world slows
I can breathe it in
Lighting crashes
Thunder rolls
Such a disappointment for you
I sneer - I have lived it
And you … you scurry around trying to keep your plans
It starts slow - blown on a breeze
The sky thickens
Dark clouds hang low and sail slow
While the top clouds scramble to get out of the way
You can’t stop this
It feels good - the air is moist
Breathe in deep - Real deep
And sigh your exhale
The equalizer
You can pass me by
You can take me for granted…forget me
But not the rain
Take notice
It commands you notice
Lighting strikes and thunder beats your flesh
I retreat into the shadows
I long for much, but none more than …
…I think that Time should stop
But how fair is that – so I’ll take the rain for what it is
And I feel the world slow
I feel safe on the edge of this storm
Later as this night falls into day and the rain drifts away
And so will I…
