When Rain Keeps Time
Some moments between two people don’t need explaining. They just need to be felt. This poem was written for one of those moments and for the person you’d want beside you in it.
Heaven’s rain
falls gently
through the night’s chill,
tapping the glass
in an unhurried rhythm.
Golden bulbs
sway softly
over white-linen tables,
casting halos on steam
rising from untouched cups.
The scent of warm bread drifts
through murmured conversations,
mingling with the quiet hum
of music in the corners.
A chorus of patrons,
lifting glasses,
savor the laughter,
and the moment’s glow,
while outside,
the rain keeps time.
