YOUR VOICE IS LIKE RAIN NOW

your voice is like rain now
misty drips and droplets
falling on a far watercolor garden
pinks running into blues
happy notes in yellow rivulets

flowers looking out with hazel eyes

little wet bees and butterflies
wandering, tasting
here and there

do you have birds where you are?
the tiny wise ones that chirp in the morning?
do you sing to them as you once sang to me
before I fell asleep?
