Rain Drop Tin Roof

Rain drop on tin roof

Hopeful rain makes the fool

Foolish as I hoping to catch a drop

In the palm of my hand where another once was 

How quiet dew drops shiver through 

An open field with open notions of you

Smoke rises on the horizon

A glimpse of grey cloud breaks in to 

Pieces of a discarded mind hoping, 

Hopeful rain makes the fool. 

Bramble branch sway in chilled breeze

Do you think maybe with a sky this grey 

He'll think of me? 

Earth reeks of dirt, woody scent driven home 

Mud prints in your boots from the places you know 

Wire fences sing in the rain 

Gum leaves against a backdrop of hills where hope was made 

Hopeful rain makes the fool. 

Rain drop on tin roof

Hopeful rain makes the fool.

~J.K.M.
