And it rained,

And it rained,

And it rained,

And the water,

Got in everywhere,

In my stomach,

In my liver,

In my lungs,

And in my heart,

And there was nothing,

I could do,

Except drown,

So I drowned,

And I drowned,

And I drowned,

And the more,

The water kept coming in,

The more I kept drowning.

 

And one day,

The rain stopped,

And I found,

I could breathe,

So I breathed,

And I breathed,

And I breathed,

And I found,

Myself on land,

That was dry,

That was firm,

In a world of sun,

Nature,

And mystery.

 

And on each,

Of the myriad leaves,

A thousand sparkling raindrops.

 

And you.
