The rain that clings to a bloom


There should be a word to express,

The rain that clings to a bloom,

A drop of freshness left behind

Beyond the lingering cloudy gloom

 

Caressing as if the silken hues,

A kiss that came from the sky,

Pastel shades, and drops of grey

In serendipity makes a tie

 

 But what if there is but a hidden pain,

A teardrop on the face?

For moments few, ethereal joy

For what should have lasted days

 

An unspoken love, ‘tween earth and sky

A love that found no way -

Settles as tears on a petalled veil

In a song for a cloudy day…
