Maybe rainy days make the sun
shine less in your heart.
Maybe the drops soak your mind,
Preventing you from feeling.
Maybe frigid air takes your
breath away.
Maybe the clouds hide your
eyes,
Preventing you from seeing.
And perhaps the dewdrops
frighten you--
Cause your legs to shake and
shiver,
Cause your toes to freeze
inside.
Does the breeze go through your
ears
And rest solemnly on your lips?
Do you dare speak the phrase you
think?
There you stand inaudibly,
Waiting for the noonday sun--
How you wish it would come.
What if it rains forever,
And the rays never breach the
peak?
You will never feel warmth
again.
But there you stay
With your feet in the grass
And your arms outstretched in
the cold.
Others wear jackets and
scarves;
They hide under the trees.
The rain soaks your face and
hair.
The jumble of umbrellas doesn't
suit you.
You prefer to be unprotected
and alone,
And you fix your eyes on the
mountain.
You never look beyond them--
Only through their hearts.
Every time you break your own.
If you'd only wear a jacket,
And look above their eyes.
The water wouldn’t
freeze your toes
