the rain came again today
left a lightning stroke on the sky
she never came when you wanted her to
she doesn’t answer to anyone’s prayer
she doesn’t succumb to a rain master
can you hear the sound of her crying
or was she just laughing?
the drops are dancing
on your shoulder as you ran
across the road to find shelter.
unpredictable and care-free
she is all that we need
coming from the sky
and back out into the sea
again and again
giving us life and joy
without asking anything back.
I wanted to be like her
one day.
