Raining In Silence : Milan's Post

It's raining in silence today
where the earth once scorched under flames.

The rain is seeping in silence to heal
where once the fangs would steal
all inspiration and the elixir to feel
the essence of the writing skill
.
The rain is scouring the lanes
in a steady sonnet of a meditative beat,
teasing and chasing the boy on the wheels
of the daily run to the everyday grit.

The rain is sliding off the slopes of hills
in little rivulets of low-sounding trickles
of a daylong strain of a musical dream
drowning the world in a hypnotized trance
when nothing matters except the sky and the drifting clouds.

It's raining in silence behind the hills,
stirring in the life not visible yet,
soothing the anxiety of the future nights.
I'll rush in the downy drifting streams
to wash my tears over yesteryears.

It's raining in silence to lead me to the sea
and rid me of the rafts of a whirlpool drift.
I sink to the bottom of the billowy waves
and rise again on the crest of the tide
to hold the flower that blooms in the surf.


The rain without a thunder, a classical note
of a silver bell singing occasionally
to catch me awake when the world goes to sleep.
