A Part Of Me

Raindrops

Irresistible, the urge to leap
Across the board
Drifting ever so slowly
To tomorrow's trembling land,
I let my mind wander
And time slips through like sand

All the while, I hear whispers
From the sly shores
That I left behind,
Its transient face of comfort

All the while, I hear
The downpour of memories
Sing to me, in a strange rhythm
That was once my own

All the while I hear
The tiny raindrops
As they softly greet the wilted rose
Washing away it's sadness
