Tears in rain



I listened to the thunder
and how it changed the world
The old flag I walked under
that lies forever furled

I search for hope in vain

The safe place that I came from
New frontiers and pain
Memories of before the bomb
my mind struggles to retain
All these things are lost

lost like tears in rain




A poem out of it's time I know, but I wasn't writing in the sixties.

"Tears in rain" from the death soliloquy in Blade Runner
