Raindrops On Roses

This post is all about raindrops.

I lie awake in my warm bed

The wind whistling outside my room

I close my eyes

Enjoying what some call "gloom"

Hearing the soft tapping

Of raindrops on the ground

Almost makes me feel

Like I'm the only one around

The darkness closes in

Small bugs and animals scatter

To find a warm, dry shelter

From the rain's pitter patter

I pull back the covers

And look through the glass

At the dancing raindrops

Bouncing off the grass

I wish I could go outside

To feel the rain against my cheek

I don't understand why

Others say rain is bleak

I love to listen

To raindrops in the dark

Where everything is so still and quiet

Not even a dog will bark
