The Rain and A Song

I walk away, not certain why.
My heart is there; why shouldn't I
Abide where I find happiness
And stay there for all time?
No doubt I will return some day,
But fearing life will call away
My soul to lands of loneliness,
My eyes turn to the sky.

And the midnight sky returns my song,
And the heaven's waters come along
On my lonely walk of troubled thoughts:
Just me and the rain and a song...

I listen to the deafening sound
Of falling rain and thoughts unwound.
An answer lost, a question found
In riddles of my mind.
Why does the darkness run from light?
Am I one who could challenge might?
And am I wrong, or is she right?
Will questions never die?

And the midnight sky returns my song,
And the heaven's waters come along
On my lonely walk of troubled thoughts:
Just me and the rain and a song...

And as I walk amidst that shade
I think of all the friends I've made,
The thoughts they shared, the words they said,
The things we did and loved.
Though I'd been feeling quite lonely
I felt as though friends walked with me.
Enjoying now their company
A different night I saw.

And so I rebuked the midnight's song;
I defied the rain, for it was wrong;
And I walked no more with troubled thoughts,
Just the love of my friends and their song.
