From burdens to lullabiesA Poem by Shannon
Raindrops on concrete
Turning it dark Storm clouds shrouding blue skies Shadowing the park And you look and you grimace at the ghastly weather you stand amidst But perhaps its just fallen victim of a bias? For you feel naught is amiss For you know that surely The rain has a place As you watch the drops collect And flow down the street, arace And now you feel humbled And now you feel at ease By the silent patter of raindrops Bounding off the trees The calming effect It now has on your mind The lulling tone that you've seemed to find Between each beat of the raindrops That dance down to earth Swallowed up by the farmers crops And the other various turf And now the rain stops And you furrow your brow And mumble silently "why did it have to end now?" © 2010 Shannon |
