The Gentle Rain
Oh gentle rain
How lovely it is to feel the drops on my nose
To dance beneath the showers
To let the droplets freely run down my cheeks
How sweet you taste on my tongue
How salty against my teeth
My lips are running with laughter
The freedom in your showers
Oh raging torrent
How angry are your storms
The shower turning into a flood
The flood that leads to drowning
And drowning that leads to life
How loud are your showers
The screams within my head
It follows me through your outpour
The cries within your storms
They seem to dance harmoniously
The sirens call to Ares
To summon an awakening within myself
or out
I cannot tell
Oh howling wind
How lonely do you beckon
With wishful hope to seek an answering call
How tormented is your singing
The grief within the sounds
Do you howl for a companion?
For someone to join your misery?
Roaming the earth looking for something
Someone perhaps to push away
Your loneliness is your self-destruction
Your howls are so misleading
Maybe destined to be alone
Destined to die there too.
