I hear rain

Lonely and overstacked at the same time
Accompanied by sadness and overwhelming joy
Conflictingly at peace

I hear rain

Desiring sleep but longing for the sight and sound
I can’t stand it, but I love it
Fearfully nestled within the warmth of security

Fearfully nestled within the warmth of security, I hear rain.
Fearfully nestled within the warmth of security, I hear rain.

I hear rain

The wind speaks softly but loudly
In confusion, I understand
Organized plans on a chaotic schedule

Masquerades of good and evil

Work to play us

Top to bottom, head to toe

— Robert Odell, Jr.

I hear rain

I’m blind, yet I see
The darkness shines brightly

I hear rain

I desire, even though I possess
Although broken, I am healed

Unconsciously yet fully aware, I hear rain.
Unconsciously yet fully aware, I hear rain.

I hear rain

Masquerades of good and evil
Work to play me
Top to bottom, head to toe

I hear rain

Presently, the latter torrent drizzles
Unconsciously yet fully aware

I hear rain
