Austrian Rain

A poem by Leanna Praetzel, Fall 2011

Austrian rain

Came.

Simply not

The same.

Swift the song

All along

Red roof,

Window pane.

Your name,

Scattered

In the breeze.

Carried clouds

About,

Among the trees,

Mountain top,

Through my hair.

You were there.

Thunder,

Soft and sweet.

Different.

Sin

And mercy meet.

At my window,

In my room,

Incomplete.
