Daniel McDonagh

Rainclouds

Over mountains, valleys and dales

Over the farmer ploughing his fields

Over houses on short narrow streets

Over strangers that we will never meet.

Over lovers kissing in a park

Over the homeless who sleep unloved in the dark

Over paths, pavements and roads

Over the graveyard were the dead are stored.

Over children who laugh, run and play

Over the traffic, that drives you insane everyday

Over the pure who have not yet sinned,

The rainclouds came rushing in.
