The Lost Rain

It rained today, heavy rain

And i just could take some old logs

From the backyard

Where they lie waiting for my grandfather

Who would build ships with them.

And I just could take a small flame

From the matchbox

Which my dad always used

To make a bonfire from old newspapers.

And I just could hold her close to me

From all the places I never searched for her

Where she’d always go.

And I just could tell her stories

Of old princes and demons and lost springs

and pirates and treasures and mango showers.

The heavy rain…

And the old logs still lie there...

without memories n stories,drenched in the heavy rain.....
