always remember the sound of the trickling rain <br />always pay attention to its sadness <br /> <br />always greater than yours <br />the seemingly endless trickling of the rain <br />at night <br />when you are alone in your room <br />notice the notes <br />to make it a very sad song <br />appeasing your <br />heart <br /> <br />every trickle has a meaning <br />subsumed in another <br />trickle <br />mind it well <br />and you will never be alone again <br />mind the sound of sadness <br />get used to its rhythm <br />understand <br />the meaning hidden in every <br />granule of waterdrops <br /> <br />then, you will fear nothing <br />in this chant <br />this poetic trance this awareness <br />of falling <br />and its meaning <br /> <br />only then will you understand <br />what sunshine means what rising means <br />what everything else <br /> <br />to someone like you<br /><br />RIC S.
