rain

when the rain comes
i open all the windows

just to hear the drops
beating down on
the rooftops

i lie down on the bed
and close my eyes

and feel myself
floating away
in the new rivers forming

gliding up and down
the streets and valleys

looking for a peaceful
place to land

away
far away
from the grey i've made

into the rainbow
mists
of the sea
