It's Raining Now

 












It's Raining Now



It's been raining all over the world

Floods here and there, some ferocious, some fun

Hurricanes, cloudbursts everywhere but not here

Here it's dry as a desert 

And as hot as the sun.


I've been watching rain channels

Just to remember the sound

The celluloid storms pounding dark shiny streets 

In every film noir and old show, every black and white movie

Praying these streets and hard cleansing rains will soon meet.


It's not just the dusty dry streets that need rain

The creatures with fur, the flowers, the earth

But here in my heart there's a drought and a famine

That needs showers of love

And a downpour of mirth.


How long has it been since my soul felt refreshed?

How long has it been since I danced in the rain?

How long has it been since I was filled to the brim

With the joy of love's healing

Instead of it's pain?


I sit here in tears looking out of my window

Just watching and wondering as to where, when and how

My dreams will be realized..... then you pull into the driveway

The sky lights up like fireworks

Oh, and it's raining now!
