Rainy Night

Imagine the hedge lined, wooded paths
And the tap of rain, a song,
Pass the dew on bristled branches
Trade them for crystal gowns.

Willows soft and willows mellow,
Lost me in their silvery strands
Perhaps the splash of unmannered cars
A rustle where oaks would stand

Back towards  your blazing eyes
Dispersing fairy's jewels
Be it love the one I despised
Here I harvest for you

It's cruel to linger where traffic slows
Where each whisper skips a beat
And I am left in the rain to wonder
If the slowness if for me.

But ponder each drop; hanging
Precariously from shadowed leaves,
Then I gues you would understand
Why these games, I would keep

Nonetheless, indigo skies retired
Back into their downy beds
The coldness of new tears
Washes me from my rest

The rattle of rain on pavement,
I later reflected, was kind
They drove all musty, settled thoughts
Far from my mind.
