Heavy with hurt I sit
here alone
quieted by the rain's lonely drone
as it pounds above and floods below
Steady rhythm at once
silent and strong
a lullaby that I've known all along
a comforting song from so long ago
For a moment I'm feeling
more peace than pain
and I notice the fireflies dance in the rain
effortlessly floating in and around
the heaviest drops not weighing them down
Never touching the
ground or losing their glow
they must have a secret we don't yet know
that keeps them afloat with more peace than pain
If only I knew how
to stay in between
dodging the downpours, abiding serene
forever here I'd remain
dancing with fireflies at peace in the rain
