Underneath The Rainy Skies

Underneath the Rainy Skies

Underneath the rainy skies
As clouds grow heavy, giving a sigh
Downward falling, falls the rain,
Ever falling all the same
Mother Nature making lace upon my window pane.

One of life's constants is the rain,
It shall always stay the same
And always be until forever
Man shall always have the weather -
And no one can rearrange it,
Nor shall time or tide
or evolution change it.

Raindrops like a billion diamonds drift
Catch on a breeze and carry and shift
To melt in the soil until once again
The cycle restarts and clouds swell with rain.

I think the rain that fell on my hair and my coat
That made my eight year old self get soaked
As I splashed in puddles as I walked
And washed away the playground chalk
Twenty five years ago could be the same
As the rain today that laced upon my window pane -
I know it looks and tastes the same.

So I shall say it is never just another rainy day,
For memories are made that way -
Half of life beneath blue skies and half beneath the grey.
Therefore I shall remember this rain
For tomorrow, when it comes again
It shall taste of today and make lace of the past
And I shall make the moment last.

For every day is a memory
Past present and future spread out like a tree
With branches entangled, all are linked -
So when we taste the falling rain
It shall make the present past..
..And taste of future rain, I think.
