Raining
April 15, 2015
The rain.
Pittering and pattering like feet
Millions of people, walking, strolling
Pouring, drizzling, soft and heavy footsteps
Darkness over the landscape
No ray of light to be seen
The rain people walking
Together, ceaseless sound
Inside the cozy cottages
With fires burning bright
Families gather 'round,
The light in the cottage
Chases darkness away
People sharing, telling stories
Together, ceaseless sound
