Rain at Night

Please click to enlarge

























Troubled by what i knew not,

I drifted down and was with her,

Her head on my lap as when a child

Saying we should do more of this,

Such a comfort being in it,

Saying something witty, kind, and complex,

So like herself, but i lost the words when i awoke,

Though i still had the warmth of them,

And i missed her, unconsolably.

Rain began at the window

And I went out to be in it,

Alone with the rain in the night,

The touch of her elegant hand,

It pleases me to think so.
