I Miss The Rain

Today I miss the rain

The rhythmic grooving of droplets

By my window pane

Accompanied by a whole mug of foamed cappuccino

And the melody struck as I keep turning

Each page of my favorite book

It's a feel-happy day today

My sister's done with her Sunny-side-up selfie

The band's catching up for a rehearsal,

And my mom is baking her secret recipe cake.

Everyone's giggling around.

I can't giggle.

So I try to smile

Smile broader

Yet somehow

I am reminded of the rain

To my own surprise

I am found cherishing

The gloomy sight

Through my dark cubicle window film

Of the rain pelting the pavement

And the gooey filth that promises

To never leave a helpless trotter alone

Of a line of rain soaked umbrellas

Set to dry in the lobby passageway

Yes I miss it all

And for once more

I fail to understand

Why little Johnny was so hard to the rain

How could he ask his rain to go away

When all I can do now

Is simply keep missing my rain.
