The Rain, An Abstraction Of The Mind.

The rain and you! Your soul is the rain ,

 water running, sliding on the slopes, 

gurgling, laughing, carrying the scent of the earth

 with the rain in the pores of the being,

 and the colours of green,

 and yellow, the gold of the fallen leaves, 

the grey and the blue of summer's glimpse, 

furtively dancing in the pools and puddles,

 and at the back of your mind somewhere, 

emerging like a silhouette taking a different life,

 shaped by the unending rain that rains in the heart, 

of the two huddled under a love that hugs 

the two walking under an umbrella strongly clutched

in the gusts of the stormy wind.
