I look into air, myself falling rain.
-Kamala Sarup

I look into air, myself falling rain.
With the sun shining
Life is in me
Life is in you
I live, living a moment of life
I can see the moon
I look into air, myself falling rain.

With dimming lights
To be woken by the sunrise
To be calmed by sunset
I look into air, myself falling rain.

The sky blue.
Days turn to nights,
Week turn to months.
Want to see the waves
Crash on the moon
I want to be sprayed
With the liquid salt of the sea

I give my self away
The rain hits me,
I stand by the window
Hugging myself-
It's a long stretch of road
I look into air, myself falling rain.

I see myself going
Imagining,
Imagining and seeing
The way life feels to me
I'll say it's raining in here
All The Tears I shed,

The way I always wanted,
The way I always imagined,
I want to remember
The rain
Whispering on the streets.
The moon
Breathing in the stars
If the sun decides
not to shine one morning
The same way I am using me
There are many roads
Walk to the ocean
As the rising sun warms the sand
of the bluest ocean
patches of scattered clouds
and, yes, it rained once more today

I stand here and let
the rain wash away all
the unhappiness days
Someday, I will remember.
When the sun comes out
I will remember
Someday the sun will
come out and dry my tears.
