Dream Home

Here comes the rain again...

There is a rain
falling over the forest.
The plants and animals
feel it as drops of love.

This poem is my love,
wet and heavy,
falling into places unknown
and on many things
I did not know I loved.

I can no longer close my eyes
and escape the living world.
The unseen, unheard, and unfamiliar
are knocking at the door
of my dream house,
calling to me...

We were in the forest
when the rain started falling
and are here to take you home.
