Rain keeps falling down in streams,


    drumming on my window


    after falling down what seems


    an endless distance, below.


    Little armies of droplets, wet,


    rhythm to crescendo.Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.


    I lay silent in my bed


    ''cause that''s all I can do.


    This white noise, almost forgotten,


    masking my inherent pain.


    It makes wood so musty, rotten,


    rust grows on my soulish chain.


    I''ve yet to shed a tear this year,


    the clouds dried up for years.


    Instead I''m sitting here and hear


    this rain substitute my tears.


    Tomorrow is another day,


    I''m listening and hoping


    for clouds in my mind: go away!,


    so I can stop the moping.
