Rain On

It’s raining out
come and stay
inside with me
we can play.

It’s raining out
don’t leave now,
I will miss you ~
you take your bow.

It’s raining out
you always clown,
running to the car,
pretending to drown.

It’s raining out
God’s a’crying,
you’re not here,
I’m a’sighing.

It’s raining out
you had to leave.
I heard you turned,
crashed and burned.

It’s raining out
streets were slick
your tires skidded
you passed quick.

It’s raining out.
My tears rain.
You’ll never
come back again.

20 August, 1999

Very moving Sunshine. Quite a turn. Smiled through the first stanzas, as it reminded me of "playing" ... then the shift to the loss ... very effective ... never take a day for granted .. thank you for your prose.

Thank you ALL so much. Again, this is another one that just "snuck up on me" as well. Your comments keep my Muse up at night! Thanks for reading.
