As Raindrops Cascade
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2005
The quintessence of nature
Transcending time and logic
Raindrops make their way down
At moments of tense suspense
Clouds of innocence now sound
Its battle cry far and wide
Blanketing the morning sunshine
Impeccable darkness spreading across the skies
As the eye wanders toward
Flashes of lightning nearby
Roll of heavenly drums signal
Heralding the coming of rain
Birds scurry for shelter
As the thirsty grass awaits
Raindrops surge relentlessly
Flooding me with reminiscences
Victories and tears of past
Crushed hopes and broken dreams
Pain and agony amidst joy and exuberance
Glory, honour, regrets
Incessant waves unabated
One can only hope to transverse
The narrow tunnel of time
Correct what was not meant to be
Raindrops in crystal clarity
Are they tears of a distraught maiden
Fleeting thoughts of a wanderer
An orchestra’s cacophonic symphonies
Or merely feelings encapsulated
In little pods of rainwater
Perhaps nothing could ever compare
To the storm that rages within
One can only hope for peace
In the abyss of eternity
