Oh sweet crystal pebbles upon my cheek

Weeping sweetly into my waiting palms

Your bike is harsh and cold and makes me weak

Yet soothes my mind like the smoothest of balms

The earthy succulent scent of your mist

The olfactory promise of new life

A simple smattering upon my wrist

You cut through me like the blade of a knife

I choke and sputter at your promises

But your whispering is so persuasive

My mind's edges have lost their polishes

You are my one and only abrasive

So please continue to fall upon us

Oh rain wonderful rain so glorious
