Midnight Rain

it's midnight and the rain is falling
on the window seems it's calling
me to listen to its patter
sky on ground with liquid chatter -
waking me from dreams I'm dreaming
mesmerized by sounds now streaming
city's quiet, there's no roaring
nature's peace there's no ignoring -
all the noise and all the clatter
people make now doesn't matter
here awake adrift in feeling
quiet joy from the appealing -
sound of rain from sky that's falling
on the window seems it's calling
from a place where there's no sorrow
no before and no tomorrow -
hypnagogic visions flowing
in the darkness light is glowing
ocean's breath from way up high
above the city's darkened sky -
falls to ground with liquid chatter
lying here I hear its patter
on the window, on the rooftops
on leaves on trees from which it now drops -
sky on ground it flows it's streaming
floating on the edge of dreaming
drifting off to sounds appealing
rain is falling I am feeling -
mesmerized by sounds adoring
nature's peace there's no ignoring
