Silent Drops Poem by Ella Goodman

All night it rained
It rained indeed hard
In my sleep I still could hear the drops

The crystal shower wet the earth
From night till morn
Flooding the crust.

A joyous day brightly lit
Who wondered though
The sky would weep.

The wait was long, quite long indeed
From morn till dark
But in vain...., when the murky clouds veiled the frame.

The stars they wept, the moon he cringed
The hapless sky gloom'd too deep
Whence Drip drop, drip drop broke the blue!

The falling sky when all slept nigh
Unfurl the drops from her guarded crux
Oblivious to vigilant troops...

All night it rained,
Dank breeze they wailed
While Silent drops in silence bled
