In the Sound of Rain

in the sound of rain

he prays for more

rain

the deepening indigo

of an indecisive sky

needles about in thin branches

thinner trees

all about him

the ancient ruins of days

decades of dulled un-
remembered conversations

flood the shallow remains

albums of his 
ruins

lazily he wonders about the birds

hidden away in embracing leaves

huddled trees he cannot see

far from the torment

far from the clashing sky

torrential sound

of the now

pounding

rain
