Rain Dreams

5/2/08

i wish the rain would come and dissolve me

wash me away into the cracks of the sidewalk

to where the chalk stains go

and the sad ones dwell

to where rain dreams come and tuck me into bed

and where birds sing in the bush

i wish the thunder would come and deafen me

make me forget the day and time

of my next responsibility

and make me only want to sleep on the grass

covered by wind and rain and guarded by thunder

i wish the evening would end and leave me cocooned

safely wrapped in the protective darkness

of wind and rain and thunder

i wish...
