i've known the steady song of rain

and the steady sway of the coconut tree

shaking it's head and smiling at me

and we've known life as it is

perhaps the rainbow grew tired 
of smiling upside down

and rained on you and me

and we've let it even out, my dear

in blobs and carefully patterned fear

and now our souls are works of arts 

and the scents and sounds we've grown to love 

have been bleeding words on our paper hearts

here, take mine, give yours to me 

so we have just enough to read 

when the smiles have died away on

a rainy day
hold it close and keep it safe, do not let it blow away
- my paper heart
