Let Me Be

let me lay and listen

to the rain outside my window

i wish to hear it pelt the rooftop

and every leaf that lies in its way

falling from the heights above

let me drift to sleep

to its gentle rhythm

as the hours pass and

the night grows darker

cover me not

for i wish to feel

the cool breeze of moisture

upon my naked skin

wake me you shall not

for i slumber upon a dream

that i dare not shatter
