Welcoming the Rains

The swirling clouds brought back tepid memories
The darkness evoked musical reminiscences
The flash of light illuminated hearts
The rolling thunder gave way to raging heart-beats...

A foggy night, shrouded memories
A misty breeze, cooled shudders
A light drizzle, unearthed smiles
A tiny puddle, reflected dreams

Came the downpour to wash away pain
Came the rains to play a new game
Came the memories with darkened skies
I stood there shivering, stripped of time....
