Rainy Raspy Renditions


A boring day,
It was,
The calm before the storm,
It truly was.
Day seems like night,
Night beckons,
It beckons a new beginning,
Night seems like day,
I resemble the rain,
The calm and the wavering,
The linear and the turbulent,
As I’m troubled much,
But forget everything now,
The cries of thunder,
Which would disturb anybody,
Seem music to me,
Pacify me,
And make me sway,
As I fall asleep.
