The Rain

The rain is so unfair.
Her drops sooth the earth,
and kisses each body of water so gently.
While the thunder rumbles above,
sending passions of love.

The rain is so unfair.
Her drops bless the trees and flowers,
while thoughts of love go on for hours.
The lightning illuminates the sky,
while the lovers moan and cry.

The rain is so unfair.
The lonely try to drown out her melody.
While the storm pours out its song,
the lonely feel so wronged.
While the people move in and around.
Dancing and romancing its distant sounds.


Richard J Wright (2010)
