some of the memories that rain down during rainy days...especially in memory of mum.
Rainy Days

rainy days are here again
streaks of silver, lines of silk,
streaming down the trails of
rainy days of yesterdays.

rainy days at five
spotting stars in rainy sky,
proving mama wrong
stars don't switch off on rainy days.

rainy days at ten
jumping puddles on muddy roads,
catching water in coconut shells
for milked tea and mudpies afterwards.

rainy days at fifteen
giggling girls behind closed doors,
whispering tales of cute school boys
hear not the cries
of washed laundry drying in the rain.

rainy days at twenty
sulking faces in lonely park,
precious friendship misunderstood makes
thundering storms fit a teacup.

rainy days at twenty-five
waiting for a safe return,
of beloved braving beastly rain
for touch of warmth on cold rainy day.

rainy days at thirty
prayers answered by darling dark clouds,
rid the sky of massive haze
bringing sunshine to the little one.

rainy days at thirty-five
wishing to stand
and see the falling rain,
streaming down the trails
of rainy days of yesteryears

to spot a star on a rainy sky.
