Something off the top of my head, since all of my files were erased. Sorry folks!


When it Rains, I am Home

When it rains, I am home.
The sound of drops hitting stones,
Mimicking a lullaby of my Mother's own.

I sway this way and that,
Sometimes I even spin or twirl,
While my lips purse together,
Emitting a soft tune,
For the words I do not remember.

Clothing sticks to flesh,
But reality is lost to me.
I have lost my mind
To the tempo of falling wishes.

When home is so far away,
The rain returns me to that place.
So when it rains, I am home.
