Just the rain


Pluviophile 
Noun; a lover of rain. 
Someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days. 


It feels like fresh wet grass,

Water ponds like mirrors through the streets,

Wheels splashing everything.


It seems like blurred images through the big window

Through the light grey sky.


It seems like empty chairs at empty tables

Empty tables with empty chairs

Empty coffee houses, empty stores, empty cinemas, bookshops

Empty little streets with no asphalt

 But bricks and Christmas lights from one house to the other.


It sounds like Blue Moon and I'll Be Seeing You, like slow jazz,

 Like sweet Billie Holliday and graceful Norah Jones.


It's like English tea, Sunday mornings, cardigans and glasses

 Like Jo and Laurie, like a good-bye kiss.


Oh, magical lullaby, enchanted part of the day.


It's just like the simple tranquil rain.
