Alone in the Rain

I remember the steady knock of raindrops

I remember them falling on my head

I remember being lost in lulling lullabies

I remember holding a heavy heart

I remember fearing to face my fear

I remember lurking in the background

I remember staying – out – of frame

I remember shaking – hesitating

I remember a blurry wet beckoning

I remember hiding behind the rain

Staying, Seeking, Silently Hidden

Raining – not so very long ago

Maybe just yesterday

Perhaps even this morning

That I remember standing

Like a baby balancing – falling

Quivering – knees knocking

Mind whirring, thoughts choking

The words from under my tongue

I remember, still remember

Finding, Feeling, Fearing

Falling in the Rain

So much Fear

Of

Being alone in the rain
