When rainy days fall
And the music breathes
Holding my heart
Along lyrics and chords
The shiver of poetry
Once it has begun to dance
A freedom like flight
A moment of living
As a winged creature
Slipping across the floor
And out of this world
Reality dimmed into
Dreamy lighting
And flickering candles
A softer worldview
Than unapologetic silence
The melody comforts me
In its sorrow and pathos
Speaking a language
Meant for my ears
And my spirit
When the rainy days fall
And the music
Is the life cast
Into endless crescendo ~ Caroline A. Slee
