Running on the green grass, As my feet catch those dews Sinking my feet in ;drowning without a clue Tiny droplets on my toes Drinking in my daily dose I wish to sit by the pane Just to watch the pouring rain I see those drips on the buds While me coughing on my cuds I wish to see the rain and say Drip me drain me clench me drench me From the head to the toe Please me rain; and i would bow One by one those water-drops Ticking like my morning clock Breaking the silence as they fall Sometimes they become those frozen flakes Falling in emptiness ;filling the space Something my eyes never have seen Trapped in this glass how long have i been Ages ,decades,No eras and centuries But when is the time i pass away The light is out, the curtains are drawn But i still hear the sound of rain Easing this empty soul's pain Staring the ceiling and the window pane Wishing and praying to see those rains Which poured on me like a gentle hug Little by little ,drop by drop I feel you still ;wetting my clothes On the summers night in burning haze When you fell on me rain I forgot the fire,the burn,the pain Washing my every wound and stain I need no umbrella nor any parosal Fading in somber ;ever so dim ever so dull Blurring the halos and blinding by lights Losing the reality from every height Me on the toes singing my ballads Dancing like a ballerina or a silly mallard Its ever so calm hearing the rain Forgetting the pains Which died in vain So when it does rain again i shall too call you again Us Sitting by the window pane Hearing the night,the sound of rain The pitter-patter ,the drip,drip-drop Gazing each other till our tears drop From our eyes and down the blossoms Its gentle and warm just like the rain Is it joy because i feel no pain So let us become the lilies Those which cried for rain Or the rather the autumn leaves which died in pain, which suffered in vain, Let us not cry for bane Until it rains, Until it rains. ___tsuki no ume~
