Poem Dedicated To A Roof Poem by RIC BASTASA

we did not buy the sound of rain
we should have bought some

take them in our house
for it could be summer sometimes

we could have reflected upon the rain and the roof

how the roof has protected us throughout the night
and how we never cared
how we never thought about its
dedication and consistency

how profound is rain
how we must realize
that till now we do not know how to make it.

how soothing the sound
of its release from the sky
what falling is
to the bottom of our hearts

how cold is the night now
and how we needed a very sound sleep
to dream again.
