Accidental Alchemy

It’s raining accidentally,

In a melody of chance,

Ratter tatting harmony,

And spattering cadence,

Pooling tears of alchemy,

To drown a troubled soul,

Swimming with the penitent,

Amidst the flowing shoal,

Crying tears for who we were,

For all we could have been,

And weeping for the clarity,

That teaches us to swim.

*

So perhaps it is no accident,

That the rain falls as it does,

And every drop’s intentional,

To release us from what was.
