Down came the rain

He was tired of the wet, cloudy weather he was enduring ever since his stay in the new country. The smell of the damp earth just before the rain was not inviting anymore. As the clouds rumbled outside and the sky burst into tears, he laid on his back, staring up at the roof. A pearl tricked down the corner of his eyes. "Remember to find me, in those foreign drops," his beloved had said. He closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

A wish

I want to ride a cloud
up in the sky so high
let go of everything
bid all the worries goodbye.

The day so tiring
work so exhausting
a bed so inviting
sleep so craddling
Change that for a day
barter everything away
Give me a cloud to ride
to feel blastingly light...

I want to have wings
a birds eye view
an experience so new!
With no strings attached
I want to watch the world go past
The melancholy of life
would find a unique respite
If only I had a cloud
A cloud to ride.
