ORPHANELL ON A RAINY DAY

Orphanell, on a rainy day,

On an afternoon in June-

Though you wish your man would stay

You know that’s crying for the moon-

But, through your silent teacup storms,

Through lonely days like these,

Oh, Orphanell, I share your stormy seas…

Orphanell, you have a friend:

You have a saving grace-

Through afternoons without an end,

In such a lonely place-

Because, one rainy afternoon,

Beneath dark loaded skies,

Did you unload the sadness in your eyes. 

Orphanell on a rainy day,

On an afternoon in June…
