MIDNIGHT RAIN

 

Stabbing through wind with watery song
the midnight rain pulls sadness along.
We chase the ghosts of a flawless night
where soft moonlight streamed, with perfect light.

Dark clouds tumble, boasting wild havoc
bipolar rain is causing panic.
With ponderous voice it hammers down
swirling eddies, flooding the ground.

Midnight rain with monotonous drawl
settles remorse over one and all.
Tree limbs crumble, a ragged charade
as thunder roars, joining the parade.

Midnight rain, long suffering refrain,
repetitive song of sorrow and pain.
