The Rain

I close my eyes and listen to
The repetition of the rain
Its steady drumming on the eaves
The tapping dripping on the leaves
The mesmerizing hypnotizing
Steady rhythm of the rain

It takes me places sweet and languid
Longing that is almost pain
Deep inside the steady pounding
Pattern of the falling rain
The ever restful soothing clatter
Calming patter of the rain

I know that life will catch me dozing
Dreaming listening to the rain
I shall revive well rested, bested
By the soothing healing rain
I'll stretch and stand
Sweet dreams receding
Fleeting as a summer rain
