A Piece of Me

The soft sound of rain
Slowly dripping--
   Dancing outside my window
Steady.
A constant hum lulling
A mother's lullaby
   Sweet sorrow intertwined
Steady.
Calm words and melodies
Formed from the pounding of drops
    Exploding upon my roof
Continue on through the night
Rock my cradle, repel my fears
Come steady me
    Gently in the night.
