Raf Raf Rain Poem by Waseem Sherif

Raf Raf is crying.
Every dawn it rains.
When silence seems to heal
All our eternal pain.

Waking up with a dream to forget
Once you touch the ground again.
But you keep walking,
Walking forward to look back again.

Raf Raf is crying.
And what else a mother would do
When she no longer knows
The path her children chose.

Yesterday was a lie;
Yesterday was painful.
We need to see the signs
act upon and relieve the burden

Raf Raf is crying.
I'm trying to wipe the tears away.
So much irony that is -
When I try - my tears also sway.
