A Rainy Day Poem by Andrew W.K. Yip

A Rainy Day

A rainy day - Andrew W.K. Yip

A rainy day.
We kissed in pouring rain.
Memories of that kiss had not drifted away,
Though the wreckage of dreams remain.

My thoughts and tears washed down the windowpane,
While I lingered in the sorrow of a love that didn't stay.
Forever etched in memory, that day of endless rain,
When gusts of wind blew wild in rough and rowdy play.

Dance in the rain; refuse to wait.
Move to its rhythm, where every beat blends life and fate.
But fate is fickle or fitful, like falling rain.
One moment it pounds and pelts, the next a storm rages in vain.
Upon our path, the rain clouds gather; some showers must fall.
After the rain, sunshine - ready to reveal the radiant rainbow hidden for all.
