Silver Rain

silver rain
delicate and eye catching…
glinting in the soft moonbeams…
as they pass through.
moving between the clouds…
making no sounds,
like an angel walking in heaven
light steps
flowing freedom
eternal beauty…
scary yet serene
eerie but calm…
not disturbing anything
leaving no footprints in the clouds
no trail to follow
joy but no sorrow…
but sadly they’ll be gone
forgotten by the hustle of tomorrow….
but in my memory
they will remain
singing their sweet refrain
never will i forget
the silver dots
on the blue background…
that littered the sky
and made me cry
for the beauty was overwhelming
all moving at once
a perfect symphony
in perfect harmony
me on my balcony
wide eyed but not terrified…
and they move on in their silent parade
i close my door
and step back inside
close my eyes and see it still,
precious pictures
engraved in my soul…
the little silver dots float on into the galaxy
they came,
I saw,
they left….
journeying on
till they fall to the ground…
and sleep there forever…
