tonight i like the rain...
tonight i like the rain…
and usually
i don’t
mostly because
sometimes it can pour and pour and pour
here
but tonight i like the rain...
maybe because i like the sound
she makes as the heavy drops fall
with assured intent
now
tonight i like the rain…
because she seems to know
that our earth is crying i guess…
i think our earth is just plain tired
with all of us
not caring
but tonight i thank the rain...
as she incessantly washes all the uncaring away
once again
giving us another chance
to care
like we used to
tonight i like the rain...
