against the rain

I played against the rain tonight.

With Melody and grit

I played against the rain.

-

Each chord and note I fought

But to Storm I was unfit.

Yet I still played against the rain

-

Dobro sung. Beneath my fingers versed

But to Storm I was unfit.

I still played against the rain

-

And yet they showered down;

The cloud girls cried.

I still played against their tears.

-

And even soaked, with my strings

Rung dull. I continued

And played against the rain.

-

The melodies slowly, silenced

as my bones wore cold

as I played against the rain

-

Stationary my song rung hollow

And never again

Shall I play against the rain.
