On a rainy evening;
the raindrops call for a long lost memory,
kids play in the puddles,
a loner embraces nature,
a bird takes a bath...
On a rainy evening;
lovers cuddle,
the clock calls for a cup of warm coffee,
cozy beds and blankets,
a poet weaves a poem...
On a rainy evening;
a frog croaks in a neighbourhood land,
the greens come to a standstill,
droplets of rain hang along a barbed wire,
drizzles create a rhythm...
On a rainy evening;
a drowsy dusk welcomes an impending dark
with ease, pleasure and peace
to have a good night's sleep...
