Listen
Drip splash drip splash
Drops of rain crashing on your neck
It’s wet and cold outside
You’re in the city
The rain does not stop
The clouds have taken over
Drip drop drip drop
Drops of rain crashing on your neck
Windshield wipers on passing cars going
Backward forward backward forward
The rain does not stop
The clouds have taken over
Listen drip listen drop
It’s the comforting sound of the rain

Shadows in the Darkness
Last week, a busy street ahead of me,
Yesterday, the fresh smell of my city,
Last night, the warmth of my bed.
Now, German bombs falling
Today, frightened children wailing
Now, rising terror seeping.
Tomorrow, a journey lies ahead
Next week, warmth turns into coldness
Next month, light becomes darkness
