Liberian rain
I was wandering in the rain,Inspired by the twinkling stars of May,
How wonderful night could it be,
Because Joy was walking next to me.
We talked to the moon,
And a few hours were gone too soon
And listening to the voices of trees,
A thought burned me in hundred degrees.
Plants and trees from the green ground,
Where my hidden heart could not be found;
River of thoughts around the flowers of my mind,
And grey clouds over me, with falling water seeming blind.
A sweet perfume was blowing in a soft sea breeze in the park,
And night’s creatures were smiling at me,
But there was only one divine figure I could see;
So I turned on my way, leaving that lighting dark.
That night, laying in my bed,
An explosion of love and sweetness blazed in my head,
A warm fire flowed in my veins
And before I fell asleep, I relived the rain.
