WITHIN THE RAIN

I wont explain the voice of rain
With words common or even plain
But in the endless dance of sound
A familiar theme in a dream I found.

I saw a crowd of hands outstretched
A crowd of hands ten thousand fold,
Crash and smash into applause
Without the need for hands to hold.

I dreamt a million moving helpless wings
As if by nature they were told
Lash and slash through the endless air
Before their dreams turned cold.

I heard an ocean of conflict rage
Guns and bodies bought and sold.
The ash and flash of annihilation
A trillion bombs retold.

Within the rain hate cheers on
The helpless die before they are old
The infinite wars to come remain
Within The Rain
Foretold.
