ESGUERRA CASTILLO, Elizabeth

The Rain reminds me of you

The rain reminds me of you

Every droplet signifies the cleansing feeling you brought,

The dewey aftertaste that lingers on the branches of trees

Aromatic fragrance after pouring down putting an end to a dry spell.

The rain reminds me of you

Not because you only gifted me with grief but of shedding a new light,

For the rain also symbolizes a fresh frontier, a new beginning

The promise of growth after sprinkling the Earth with Hope.

The rain reminds me of you

When I am at the pinnacle of my love for you,

King Sun had to hide behind your shadow and parted the clouds

To give way to your reign, to showcase your enigmatic prowess

Leaving me in deep revelry, embracing the moment.

You keep on flooding the ground like the time when your charm engulfed my heart

You are like the cleansing rain showers

That gives life to fragile valleys and lonesome rivers

The antidote to a thriving stiff mountain range

Bringing back lush greeneries to a dull sanctuary

The rain reminds me of you

For our moments were captured in every drop .
