The Rain

In the garden, drops fall one by one...

 

On my head, sliding on the small of my face...

Like a dewdrop on a leaf.

 

On my shoulders, caressing my skin so softly...

Like a cloud's breath.

 

On my feet, curling up my stubby little toes in cold...

Like a smooth winter kiss upon a sleeping rose.

 

Round and round I ran with the rain

In the garden...

Round and round as the rain raged...

Round and round as the wind blew...

Round and round as I grew...

Into a world I never knew,

Where the rain hits and beats me up...

 

I ran and run against the rain...

Now all wet and gleaming,

I stand here all knowing,

 

I have become the rain.
