the rain falls through

[meicalabawen]

rain falls through
where the roof is not
onto the patio

i try to keep it dry
i brush water off
i rearrange leaves
i push my will into play

you cry your will
against mine

let me in
no
let me in
no, not until you try
no

rain pours through
where your mind is not
onto our lives

i try to keep you dry
i brush water off
i rearrange leaves
i push my will into play

you try your will
against mine

let me in
no
let me in
no, not until you try
no

rain seeps through
where our joy is not
onto our hearts

i try to keep us dry
i brush water off
i rearrange leaves
i push my will into play

you ply your will
against mine

let me in
no
let me in
no, not until you try
no

and still the rain falls through

this is brilliant. why not enter it in the eistedfodd, in the long poem thread? there's still time. there's some awesome poetry up there already and this needn't be ashamed to stand up beside any of 'em. it's a great little poem, and a great little piece of philosophy, too.

Thanks!

Eistofodd? I'll take a look and see what I can find out about it. Thank you for suggesting it.
