Rain of roses
What a quiet night outside,
the sound of a petal falling,
where are you my love.
Waking up slowly at dawn,
hearing,
a shout outside the window,
standing up quickly,
running to the window,
you’re sweating,
eyes burning,
standing in front of me,
my heart,
like a bird flying.
Moments later,
it begins to rain,
you and i,
running in the rain,
the backyard,
delicate flowers,
dark green grass,
cheering,
in the rain,
you and i,
hand in hand,
the raindrops,
falling on us,
dark clouds,
blotting out the sun,
you and i,
this is the moment,
the rain above us,
like roses,
the flowers on the ground,
like a celebrant,
a blessing,
for us.
