Drops of rain

Drops of rain fall upon
our heads whene'er we're near
and the pitter-pat that
makes me sleep awoke me today

I thought her to be close
when the soft drumming stirred
me from my sleep

The cool rhythm matching
my heartbeat pulse by pulse
The wind outside could
almost be her voice near me

her face appears in my mind's
eye when I lower my lids and
listen to the rain

Thunder's soothing rumble
helps me drift to sleep again
The downpour brings me
dreams of her

I thought her to be close
when the soft drumming stirred
me from my sleep
