Rain, it on my mind

steady downpour rhythms
soothe inner streets of soul

like song when Lady Sings, or
Howlin Wolf painful moanin
way high up and over
a midnight Mississippi valley full moon

gray distant thunders confirm
ol Lightnin done struck a chord
a new harmonic invention
somewhere in invisible heights

yeah, Mr. Hopkins broke another chord
and dat melody heard round da universe

ain't nothin lak reflection
ain’t nothin lak da dark gray rhythm uv rain
