Still the Rain
the tea kettle warms
consistent in its call
still the rain
water pours from faucet
into bowls and cups
still the rain
your soft exhalations
of early morning dreams
still the rain
midnight retreats
into shadows along the wall
still the rain
mourning doves
singing the day open
still the rain
morning comes
still the rain
