Rain

"I didn't ask for a free ride" - Lady Gaga

Outside my window

I can hear it

the light rain

It comes down

so softly

It whispers to me

in my slumber

I wake the next morning

It's still coming down 

Pat, pat, pat

On my window

It soothes

my nerves

Calms me

I drink rose hibiscus tea

The aroma of my tea

floats into my

nostrils

I close my eyes

A feel anew
