Rain – December 9, 2024

Rain Chant

The rain drums on tin roofs, a jazz riff of despair,
splattering memories of love lost on cracked sidewalks—
gray skies bleed like forgotten poems,
and the gutters gulp their endless sorrow.

I walk alone, a vagabond of fleeting moments,
shivering under the cold exhale of eternity—
petrichor rising like ghosts of the soil,
their whispers cling to my skin, ancient and raw.

Each drop is a confession, a hymn to impermanence,
washing the graffiti of heartbreak from brick walls—
I lift my face to the storm, let the sky baptize me,
reborn, dripping, but still human, still aching.
