Beneath the Softening Clouds

The clouds softening—
can you see them sending
some rain your way?

Every raindrop holds the memories
we've created
touching your skin
and running down your spine

Short fragments of moments
meaningful or not—
however you choose to define them,
we carry them inside

The rain slows down
washing our two souls
swimming in silent ponds

We're soaked and cold
beneath all the sadness
seeking some warmth

The distant bonfire
under the night sky
licking the darkness
calls our weary souls

Approaching from two directions
we see our faces
as we draw closer
