Rain

The drops of life fell

pacing through the air, rushing almost

losing their way in her hair, but not mine

His children ran amuck,

away from his love, shielding themselves

I stood there alone, soaking it in every pore of my being

But alone I was not quite

She stood there too, hands widespread.

Eyes closed, the glee gushing

The drops finally found their way out

We looked at each other,

like two children delighted

Our souls met when our eyes crossed

The cold rain had struck a fire alight
