Sitting by the window
I watch the rain fall
In my left hand a hard boiled egg,
the right a cup of coffee
I saw the droplets as they fell
A billion beats per second
The earth sends forth that good ole smell
and sets my soul a-soaring
The air, a mix of smells I love
The things you can’t get for a fee
In my left hand a hard boiled egg
the right a cup of coffee
I see an earthworm swim by
I wonder how it feels
Often it gets uncomfortable
when the blessings are nigh
I think of all that has been loved
And the bonds that cannot be undone
For if you can learn to unlove
then you truly never did love
I hear a frog in a nearby puddle
A heartier croak I never did hear
To think that the puddle will dry so soon
the frog gone ‘fore the monsoon is near
Sitting by the window
I watch the rain fall
In my left hand a hard boiled egg,
the right a cup of coffee
Another day to breath and smile
to see, to hear and sigh
