Pete Zaesar Galula - August Rain

You came when the last dropp of August rain fell

When I was moments away from drying my face

I knew time was raining down on me then

Perhaps the sound of the raging wind outside

Was as deafening as the silence of my heart

That I never heard or saw you coming in



The devious sun sneered at me, fraudulently smiled at me

And was telling me that a more vicious torrential rain

Was looming somewhere unsuspectingly

Hiding behind the nebulous clouds that had clouded my senses

But then I paid no heed to this farsighted admonition

For I thought it will be just another rainy day



And so it happened, what was supposed to happen

And every rainy day, I remember you, I memorize the feeling

You came and you went away as I was swept away

Just when the August rain was about to fall again

I’m a hundred moments away from drying my face

And I’m walking away, miles away from these rainy days
