February Rain
To be the mud, the bog, the mire;
To soak the bones in February
Eons from the autumn shower
Even from a summer berry!
Sparrows chirp a desperate call,
Darting questions at the cows
Oblivious to the dousing squall, they
Churn the sludge with pastern ploughs.
The crying air was lost in rhythm:
Drums incessant in the drops;
Not a chance for rainbow prism
Even if the hammering stops!
Metallic chills entrap machines
Tractors hushed within the shed.
Inside the house, a full cuisine
To bless with mead and little said!
But out across the tiring field,
A sodden fox is hunting down
His prey of sorts but nil of yield;
Perhaps hell starve; perhaps hell drown.
Still the clouds are hammering,
Hammering home their dreary aim
A chatterbox in constant yammering,
Drenching all to make a claim.

rain
rain, rain, rain heal my heart that is broken apart
rain, rain, rain up above from the skies
rain, rain, rain pour here and clean my soul
rain, rain, rain there will be rain here, there will be rain there
rain, rain, rain wash away my pain
rain, rain, rain wash away my debts to pay
rain, rain, rain so tired i felt wash away my guilt
rain, rain i will do anything for you to cover my tears of shame

Rain, Rain
Rain, Rain please pour on me
Rain, Rain please set me free
Rain, Rain don't let the sun shine through
Rain, Rain my heart is now a pit of goo
Rain, Rain blow the ocean breeze
Rain, Rain sway the forest trees.
Rain, Rain don't wash away
Rain, Rain I wish you could stay
Rain, Rain don't let the birds chirp or the children play.
Rain, Rain please stop time today.
Rain, Rain Do you understand my sorrow?
Rain, Rain please be here tomorrow

My Sneaking Tears
How heavy fell the rain that day
From burdened clouds of mournful grey.
The torrent forced them stay their height -
Composure swayed by onerous might.
My skin wrung wet with icy chill
As mud embraced that sodden hill.
But mind of mine had elsewhere gone -
'Twas clouds abandoned I was on.
The driving drops advanced their gears
To camouflage my sneaking tears -
Whence now did swell such floods of pain
To see me melt into this rain
On equal bearing now were we:
This rain; myself, in harmony.
