Listen to the rain

Listen to the rain
Listen to the stories it tells
For the rain
Has been to every
Corner of the earth
Except maybe the desert
And if you come from
A place like mine
A place where the winter is gray and not white, water and not cold,
The rain knows you
Better than the sun
Listen to the rain
Sometimes
It can give you
Better advice
Than a thousand friends
And more wise thoughts
Than a person a thousand years old
Inhabiting the earth
Listen to the rain
It tells only the truth
