Vietnam Rain <br /> <br />Watching the rain fall to the ground <br />Splishing and splashing getting lost in the sound <br /> <br />My mind eases through to gentler days <br />When all thoughts of danger were melted away <br /> <br />Then all too soon I'm brought back to light <br />All this pounding will last through the night <br /> <br />Soon more violence fills the sky <br />I ease on down and close my eyes <br />Asking again, ' Is this when I die? ' <br /> <br />It's morning now the danger is gone <br />Subsided for now will be back before long <br />Their fight is relentless, their Viet Cong <br /> <br />Oh how I long for the quiet and still <br />Let this rain bring us some cleansing <br />I'll be home in 24 this mess is never ending <br /> <br />Mud and bugs and rain every day <br />Oh how I long for someone to say <br />'See you Doc ' Glad you got away <br /> <br />Jim 1967<br /><br />James Casey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vietnam-rain/
