Midnight Rain ...A Poem of Us



The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.
—Henry David Thoreau

Rain's falling out there –


You’re sleeping
While the trees
Slowly turn to glass.

Sometimes I feel
There's no difference
Awake or asleep –

Seasons turn
And the human passions
Are but a slight disturbance.


There's rain falling out there;

There will always be rain…

On the trees, on the houses,
Even on this window,

Long after we are gone.
