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
