Manuela Cardiga - Guilty Pleasures and Culinary Treasures

THE DAY THE RAIN SLEPT
AND SLIPPED AND DIED

i skipped the rain
slipped past
the teardrops
of heaven's pain

i fled again
under opened palms
of sheltering hands
of loving friends

i fled but met
that pain again
as memory was gain
again, again a mad refrain

come back oh rain
sweet sour rain and soak
that dead dry tongue
of loss that pain
made liquid lyric
song again
