Downpour

Come through the falling veil

And rest below my eaves

Let’s watch the puddles ripple

And track the gutter sailing leaves

Let’s each find our own rhythm

Within the driving rain

Then play them for each other

And see if they’re the same

Let’s watch the drops of water

Burst upon the street

Then rejoin one another

Where the sloping crossroads meet

Let’s find a drop to fall with

And dare to take the dive

Let’s dance within its sheets

And like the blossoms, be revived
