ONLY RAINDROPS REMAIN

 

A gentle rain on the rooftop

A wee dram on my lips

Words escape into the wind

Lost to a world asleep

Secrets spill into the night

Heard by none but the stars

Cloaked beneath a cloudy blanket

Conspiring with the moon

Smoke signals curl to the sky

Carrying the dreams of possibility

On a tear stained parchment

Written in disappearing ink

And from the rooftop I depart

With none to share this moment 

Eyes half closed in wonder

Only raindrops remain
