Gentle drops do fall so subtly,
Touching down and filling out.
Summer rains of memories
Falling past my eyes
And filling up my mouth.
I hold my arms out to accept you,
Embracing every beauteous drop,
And watch the clouds swirl and swell
The release the joy onto the earth.
I stare out past the curtain of water
And see the sunlight pushing through
Realizing it will soon end,
But not quite wanting it to.
Lay me down in cold damp earth,
The smell of rain blowing in the wind,
Then will I be truly happy
With the man upstairs washing all my sins.
The waters running down my arms,
Pouring down my face.
Into my eyes ,the synthetic tears,
Do make my own feel disgraced.
Everything within the storm
Is cleansed and made anew.
The only thing that is truly lacked within
This moment is you.
Back up at the parting clouds,
I see still more behind.
Thunder pounds on past my ears
And booms with heavenly might.
Through all of the water, and the noise
I still maintain my sight.
Not the sight from each my eyes,
Nor from the things I feel,
But instead my sight of things heart felt,
The one who made it possible
For rain to fall from skies.
I feel the hand upon my heart,
I bust loose the levy of tears
Let flow the river. Gentle and subtle
As the rain which fall to my shoulders.
Every rain which come to me
Ends far too soon for me to like.
Each rain which come takes too long,
Never am I truly content
Unless it were to never stop.
Waiting for it to let up,
Or give way to more rain,
Fills every heart and every soul
With a joyous kind of pain.
I sit down in the dew damp grass,
And look up to the skies.
I wait forever, a single drop hits me,
Wait for the Rain of Never.
The Reign of Eternity
