February Rain
Winter's grasp, a gentle sigh,
February rain beneath gray sky.
Drops dance on cobblestones sweet,
Melody where sky and earth meet.
Each drop a memory, seasons gone,
Promise of spring in winter's song.
Bare branches washed in grace,
Rain adorns the world's embrace.
Fields stir beneath the veil,
Raindrops serenade, over hills sail.
Whisper through meadows, kiss the land,
Rain, a painter's gentle hand.
