I battered my eyelids
Against the sprinkle of rain
That fell from above.

I walked on, listening
To my footsteps,
And the sound of rain.

The clouds, mostly gray,
Let their tears fall,
And I looked up.

The drops splashed on my face,
And trailed down my neck.
My hair dampened form the mist.

I stopped underneath a tree,
And listened to the dripping
Of the ice cold droplets of water.

Drip,drip,drip.
The water slid lazily
Off of the leaves.

I reached out an arm,
And felt the cold water
Dampen my clothes.

I breathed in the smell
Of a moist earth,
And continued my walk.

Drip,drip,drip.
Crunch,crunch,crunch.
My footsteps loud and clear.

I walked through the trees,
Watching a stream trickle by,
And birds call over head.

Drip, drip, drip,
Crunch, crunch, crunch,
Chirp, chirp, chirp.
