noah�s tears

monday night rain
coats the city
turns the asphalt mirror black
washes away the grit of the day.

water bends the light
clings to surfaces
trees shimmer in streetlights
sway lightly in the breeze.

in these nights
i pull my coat close
keep my head low
try not to look up

in these nights
i know the sky is grey
know that it blends with the hills
know there is nothing to see

it has been raining for days
the water keeps coming
the road gets darker
the grey fills my eyes

the sun will return
the warmth will return
things will dry & lighten
air will flow easer

but for now
i keep my head low
wait out the storms
dream of noah�s tears
falling
falling

& watch for doves
