The Song About Rain

This morning the sky is a charcoal sketch
Of a man with a silvery bowl
From the bowl he ladles out rain with a hyssop branch
Rain for the girl who's waking up slowly

I don't know why everyone's opinions
Of weather like this are so low
The trickle and drum of the rain reminds me
Some of the music of life should be played slowly, slowly

Down, down, rain falls, down, down, we go
Rise again like steam up we flow
Drawn back like a human arrow
Fly, fly
You and I in rain

c wraparound porch and a cup of coffee
You wraparound me with your arms
Lemongrass grows and our blood is safe from
The terrible miniature winged vampiric armies

I made you cross last night--I'm sorry.
I dried up your smile like a flame.
The dryness has gone in a rush of rainfall
cnd love is a river that roars with the sound of your name, your name

cnd I never thought I'd say
I'd surrender every day
Without you for just one
With you, clouds hiding sun,
Sink under the water and swim with me up to our room, please...
