Soft Rain Slowdowns

The rain is tapping on my window pane

I watch the drops slide down,

wash out the pain

The plans I made today,

I let them slide

It feels so good to keep it all inside

My cozy room is warm,

a safe retreat

No busy sidewalks

and no rushing feet

I make a

cup of tea

and watch the sky

Just letting all the busy hours pass by

Oh, let the gray clouds stay a little more

I like this quiet world

behind my door

Slowing my steps

was what I needed most

A peaceful day,

a silent

gentle ghost

I used to run

to keep up with the crowd

But in this quiet space,

I feel so proud

To do absolutely nothing for a night

Just watching

streetlamps cast

their amber light

The rhythm of the storm

is like a song

It hums a melody

that feels so

strong

I hope the morning takes

its time to wake

There is no promise

that I have to break

Oh,

let the gray clouds stay

a little more

I like this quiet world

behind my door

Slowing my steps

was what I needed most

A peaceful day,

a silent

gentle ghost

Sometimes the best way is to just stand still

To let the silence climb up on the hill

No

rush,

no worry

of the passing time

Just listening

to the quiet

midnight chime

Let the rain fall down,

let it stay

Keep the busy morning

far away

Just a little longer

in the deep

Before I close my eyes

and go to sleep
