Heavy Rain

 I listened to a heavy rain

while remembering

that there have passed

centuries, millenia and millions of years

So that we may be here, now, like this

and just listen to the rain,

the splitting of flint stone,

making of fire,

building of cities,

of empires that transpire

Yet it wasn't beside the point

that I was missing you

as the raindrops hammered the roof,

hit the window glass

and fell unto the earth.
