A Rainy and Gray Day

A rainy and gray day
I looked out the window
And I think of you
The leaves are happy
Because the rain
Makes them live

A thought
Came to me
They are the memories
That are there

A rainy day
When I shared
A cup of hot chocolate
And some cookies
It made me happy
Something very simple
But remembering is living

Raindrops fall
In the garden
And on wet ground
It smells over there
And I love that

They run down my cheeks
Tears at the thought of you
But with the raindrops
I can hide them

I see a little bird jump
And it starts to shake
It’s beautiful wet wings
On this gray day

On this gray day
Rainy can be perceived
The most intense colors
Of all the flowers
Who are in the garden

Dropping a fine
Rain curtain
I put out my hand to feel
The fresh water
That from heaven
You see coming!

Through the roofs
They can be heard shaking
The jets of water
On this gray day!

Being in stillness
And in my feeling
This rainy day
I remember you
