Saving
I'm saving for a rainy day.
The drops won't fall yet. Storm clouds are gathering, The air thickens, And I wait. Crash! Bang! My ears ring, my eyes are blinded, The storm breaks. All is dark. The wind whips the rain across my face. I walk. I stand. I kneel. I'm very cold now. The pain is growing, And I lay down to die. Rain is supposed to hide tears. I feel I'm all tears, But the rain won't hide me. The stars are falling. No, not stars; Moonlight through the rain. It's beautiful. It's not death, it's life. Rain is life. |
