Raindrops

RAINDROPS

Can raindrops wash away the sin
   The tracks of places you have been
   The tears of people that you knew
   The trace of faces that were you?

Or does it just provide the background
   To your heart's repeating sound
   The beating drumbeat at your core
   Scarce remembered anymore?

The revelation of your pain
   Only recognized in rain
   Glimpsed in silhouetted haze
   On such drizzly, misty days...
