Reunited

Forgotten tears flow once again.
As they cascade down my crevices
That have formed throughout my years.

I sit positioned, facing out of the window.
I see the rain fall.
It splashes against the already formed puddles.
A mixture of earth and water create a wonderful colour of brown.
As, I see the little ducklings waddle through
Trying to escape the rain.

The clouds are thick, and paste the skies with grey.
Just like the hair on my head.

I manage to smile through my tears,
As I see a little child and his mother skipping into little lakes.
I forget about my troubles, as my fingertips caress the glass.
Little drops of water drift slowly down,
Making clear tracks.

I look back at the cuckoo clock, now chiming.
It's 5 o'clock. I go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea.
As I enter, I stumble. I fall to my knees.
Gradually, I steady myself back up.
I head for my bed instead.
I tuck myself in my bed.
Gently I fall asleep, as the rain washes the country.

I'm a lonely old woman, dying.
Tonight I shall fade, but I'll be happy once again.
My husband and I, reunited.
