Rain
Drops in the heights of the sky
The nimbostratus up nigh
Clouds crawling
Mist falling
Rain
Hid in the depths of the mind
Images creating grind
Soul vying
Heart crying
Bane
Once known, then lost, child’s wet play
Victim to time, become gray
Remembrance
The chain dance
Pain
Years pass too fast, quick, speedily.
There will be no remedy
For the heart’s malady
Nor satisfaction
Of wistfulness.
Finances
Call,
Remain.
Refrain
Abstain
But Rain!
