Rainfall on Quiet Skies

Raindrops tapping

on the windowpane

I watch them trace the glass,

washing down the strain

The plans I made tonight,

I swept

them all away

And in this quiet room,

I find a place to stay

The city's rushing by,

but I am standing still

Sipping on my tea,

watching from the sill

It took a stormy night

to finally

let it go

To appreciate

the beauty in moving slow

Oh, let it pour,

don't let it stop

just yet

This quiet peace

is something I won't soon forget

Just let the world

spin on without me

for a day

I hope this midnight shelter

doesn't fade away

The fireplace is glowing,

casting amber light

I didn't want to face

the crowded streets tonight

But here inside the warmth,

the shadows softly play

I'm finding what I lost

along the busy way

Oh, let it pour,

don't let it stop

just yet

This quiet peace

is something

I won't soon forget

Just let the world

spin on without me

for a day

I hope this midnight shelter

doesn't fade away

Sometimes you have to stop to see

The simple joy of just trying to be

No place to run,

no goals to chase

Just breathing in this gentle space

Let it pour,

keep falling down

So peaceful

in this town

Just a little longer now
