THE COOL RAINS OF EDEN
I walk down the street
in the cool breeze of dusk...
Nothing left now
save this empty flesh husk...
Nothing remains of my friends
but my memories...
And those are cold comfort
when I'm lost in the freeze.
And though I'm soon sheened
with ice & with snow...
I long for the sky to weep
& I know
that somewhere it's raining
for a convict & a liar...
Somewhere it's raining
though Eden's on fire...
Somewhere it's raining
though I'm lost in the snow...
Is it raining for Maggie?
I may never know...
For that was a lifetime ago;
that cool rain...
I remember it chilled our
laughter & pain...
That insanity of ours
as the rains moved towards Swedon...
Those are the rains now required in Eden.
