Bird In The Rain Poem by Werner Klokow

Misty rain sweet cool
Fluttering from sky grey
On a window pane
I saw a bird high above
Wet and black
Beautiful with life

Its wings folded around it
Heat trapped as alone
It sat there on the wet pane
My heart saw only beautiful life
The coolness part of my skin now
I watched the bird with empathy

The rain on my hair
Black bird sitting there
Its feathers wet
I realise
Life is beautiful
There in the rain today
