"The Story of Rain" by Ellie Arsenault
I hear you
Beating against the tempered glass
Your rhythmic melody
Tapping on the charcoal gray roof
It sounds like music
A sweet lullaby
Your drops race down the window
Leaving narrow clear trails
I wonder what you once were
The ocean?
A lake?
A puddle, maybe?
Someone's glass of water
Left out on a summer day
Your life never-ending
Just resetting all the time
Living forever
It must get boring
