In the Late Hours

Late at night
Computer light
Music like tin kettles
In a rainstorm

The reflection
Of me on the inside
Of the windows
There is no rainstorm

Dust is sifting
Squeezing under
I'm dreaming
Of a rainstorm

Clouds floating over
My mind is full of them
Bring the smell of wet
Or a rainstorm.

Hi Alayna,
I did not know you were a poet (though it makes sense that it's an extention of your art jewelry).

I also write poetry and prose, and I love to read other poets' work.

The line "Music like tin kettles
In a rainstorm" sums up what I heard on my little street in the early morning. Very nice poem!
