She talks to the Rain

She talks to the rain,
her silhouette framed against the gray sky,
stretches her arm out beyond the shade,
questions posed to the falling droplets,
answered by omniscient silence…

She talks to the rain,
lying on her bed in the dark,
the din of the raindrops on the window pane,
bedtime stories and midnight chats…

She talks to the rain,
tired and alone,
the rain washes her worries away.
The cold shower on her face,
feels like the hand of God…

She talks to the rain,
drenched in the downpour,
she pours her anguish into the torrent.
as the heavens cry with her,
tears washed away by tears shed together…

She talks to the rain,
reading a novel by the window,
sharing thoughts and opinions,
comments and annotations,
the rain’s a good listener as always,
its wisdom, once again,
reflected in its silence…

She talks to the rain,
warm moments after cold showers,
contentment, satisfaction, home and hearth,
simple joys…

And thus she talks to the rain,
conversations with an old friend,
over a hot cup of tea,
as the overpowering smell of another season’s first showers,
brings back memories, of seasons past.
She talks to the rain…

Kajiura Yuki’s beautiful track “I talk to the rain” from the Chronicle of the Wings OST, Kovai showers and a friend who listens and talks to the rain. “She”, in the poem, does not refer to any specific person.

Comments welcome as always…
