Rain, Don’t Go Away

Rain, rain, don’t go away—
I need your whispers to guide my dismay.
Mirror my ache in skies of gray,
Let sorrow spill while I softly pray.

 

Rain, rain, don’t disappear,
I’ve waited long with silent fear.
Come steal these tears I hold so near,
Let your rhythms speak what I can’t hear.

 

Rain, dear rain, be my balm,
Soothe the storm that broke my calm.
Take each feeling, raw and warm,
Carry them off—no need for harm.

 

Rain, oh rain, could you pour a bit softer and longer?

So I could hold my umbrella tighter—just as I should hold myself stronger.

Let me hide under you a little bit longer,

Until I am ready to whisper goodbye later.
