Looks like Rain!

Raining...

Today it rained, raining much like everyday and yet...

The softness and rhythm of the droplets seemed to me to whisper
That a reprieve might reign for a while and happen along my way.
Light pierced the glumness to settle as a kaleidoscopic ribbon
That draped its glory over everything its brilliance reached, i smiled.

I surveyed the wild surrounding, as I'd done so many times before

And altho' the view familiar, an uneasy shift had taken place
The wind had changed direction and I could smell it in the air
A change so overpowering, it was as tangible as what I saw there
I wonder the cost I'd have to pay to this calmness that was brewing

I watched as the murky skies were breathing rich life onto the land

When the clouds briefly held their tears and I swore I felt it yet again
I turned my back upon reality, to seek the safe exclusion of my room
To wait till for what was coming knowing I would not be able to resist
You, a lost blackbird, tapped upon my window, I stooped to set the fire

The flames I failed to notice as you drink in the essence of my soul

As there you stood, I felt the levy being drained from deep within me
And then wished that I might have chosen to deal myself a better hand
I turned my face from your direction whilst you rape my fragile heart
And gazed upon the rain clouds and knew the rain would come agai
