• A Rainy Dream

    I fell asleep
    In the rain
    And dreamt of happiness
    Instead of pain.
    And though it hurt,
    The rain was calming,
    And new emotions
    Began spawning.
    I dreamt of smiles
    on warm faces,
    I dreamt of people
    In happy places.
    They embraced me
    With love and care
    But I knew,
    I couldn't stay there;
    For the rain
    kissed me awake
    And all of my dreams
    it soon did break.

    I woke up
    In the rain
    And dreamt of happiness
    Instead of pain
    And though it hurt,
    The rain was there.
    My secret teardrops
    I could share
    With my good friend;
    The rain,
    Who knows too well
    Of life and pain.
