Droplets on the window pane
Run effortlessly across the glass stained
Repetitive sounds lull me to sleep
Eyes closed I choose to keep
Silent as the rain pours down
From open skies across this town

Water splashes heard below
As cars continue to come and go
Repetitive sounds that pull me within
A surreal world only imagined
Fully conscious yet mute
I try to think but fail to execute

Mesmerize me with your sound
Water trickles all around
Sleep’s impossible because I’m transfixed
Upon nature’s pyrotechnics
Claps of thunder shake the ground
Awaken my spirit like a lover’s rebound

Sleep comes after the rain stops
Eyes flutter wildly like a turboprop
Dreams envelop my consciousness
Tear apart my defenses from this fortress
Of vulnerability I must concede
Rain renders my senses like tumbleweed
