you are the gentle rain
on burning summer sky
slow patter on my eyes
lingering kiss that remains
you are the gentle rain
sketching greens as birds fly
scatter-skitter noise, your sighs
are calming clouds & quiet plains
you are the gentle rain
humming blues with bow tie
my hands are stirring chai
winding down, hushed vane
you are the gentle rain
