Rain Manifesto

The lake is green beneath the thunder sky,

The rain has made the pavement sleek and glossy,

As long as they serve coffee at bar Rossi

We both are safe and sound, you and I.

The waves and clouds, racing left to right

To please the wind aren’t getting anywhere

And, trying to pretend they really care,

They turn themselves from gray to black to white.

Another lightning breaks across the world;

Who can predict the fortune or the weather?

It matters not, my love - we are together

And we are never ever getting old.
