The Rain Tonight

I stopped, needing

A sudden stillness,

And listened to

The rain tonight:

Singing in guttering;

Gently sputtering

From broken tiles;

Pattering steadily on

Grass and pavement;

Ringing in old pipes.


This steady rain, 

Fresh like lemons

On the evening air,

Tempting me to

Lie down and gaze

At starless skies, 

Feeling each drop

Strike my limbs,

Soaking my unease

With comfort.
