THE RAIN FELL SLOWLY - Poem 10
The rain fell slowly
almost as it not wanting to,
gently calming the thirst
that the heat left behind.
She entered through the open window
sifting with her timidness
the penumbra now already cool.
The houses and things were still,
letting themselves be touched by her presence
and the drowsy time, looked at her like a child.
The blue and gray blended together,
water and air that played in the sky
now hidden in kept silence,
and the rain fell slowly
stretching out her arm to gently touch
the branches and vineyards.
No one spoke, only she sang
and more than sing she hummed a slow tune
that moved in harmony with the feeling.
What fragrance her face gave off,
shiny and pale,
fresh like a young rose
that parfumes the sitting room in a copper vase.
The forgotten sun finally peeked its light,
though dim, through the soft layer of wet cotton,
and the rain upon seeing it, gathered her hair
and let herself kiss the nape,
warm and alive, like an expectant woman.
