Your Corner of the World

Does the Earth smell the same

In your corner of the world,

After a scorching summer afternoon

Makes way for the first rains?

Does it distinctly remind you of home?

Do you feel calm after a busy day

When you watch the droplets

Make a pattern on the window pane?

Do you remember me

Shuddering at the thunder

While I muse on the same?

.

The gale roars but doesn't stop,

The breeze plays on my hair

As I shudder once again at the sight of lightning.

The heart draws me back to you,

A moment when the raindrops drenched us

Yet the hearts were warm and

I could wear it on my sleeves

Without a worry of it shattering

In your hands.
