MEL CHI - POETRY

Tears Are The Rain

When there are so many, we shall have to mourn

When grief has been made so public

Exposed to the critique, the anguish in which we seek

Now for whom shall we speak

For everyday they die among us those who were doing some good

Summon the Jackal, summon the Lizard,

summon the breath of the wind, summon the breath of the wind

Improve a little by living, that which is never enough

Because in limbo plays a violin and

my shadow dances behind me

Afraid of the emotions that bind me

Summon the Jackal, summon the Lizard,

summon the breath of the wind, summon the breath of the wind

Escape me once again

As I sow the thoughts that torment my soul

I play the game of change, my life I rearrange

Rewriting the moment, I toss and turn

with the strength to hold back the tears

Wake me up tomorrow or is tomorrow just to near

Summon the Jackal, summon the Lizard

summon the breath of the wind, summon the breath of the wind

Give me one day in paradise, let me shed my fears

Let me find a new place to hide

I’ll water my garden with tears

I’ll wade in the sorrow, that sounded the pain

Let it rain, let it rain

Summon the Jackal, summon the Lizard

Summon the breath of the wind, summon the breath of the wind
