Like quiet rain falling for days,
that is how I want to love you.
So that no part of you goes
untouched. The rain softens
everything, brings out luster and hue
in even the dullest gray stone, and with
the tiniest bit of light, the rain turns
the whole world to shine. So quiet
you almost don’t even notice,
but there it is, everywhere you are.
It’s a clever metaphor, the quiet rain and the all-embracing power of love. I especially like the line about how it brings out the luster, the shine. Very bright:)
