Walking in the rain

J. Duke

Walking in the rain

By myself all alone,

Without anybody here

To notice where I go,

Without any worry

Over when to start home,

Walking in the rain

With the cool coming at me

Like an old friend, softly,

Like maybe a lover

Whispering to me, Hush,

Be still, breathe deep,

Walking in the rain

By myself all alone

Is having all the warm world

Secretly inside me

All the cool while,

All, all the wet way.
