I
A soft summer rain
Falls slowly on the sidewalk
Singing pop and hiss
II
Underside of leaves
Dancing in soft steady beats
Crying with the wind
III
Streaming down your face
I see the rivers empty
Filling distant lakes
IV
A gleam in your eye
And your smile soft and welcome
Guarded by raindrops
V
The rain hides your tears
As you pull closer inward
Accepting a kiss
