The Rain Falls Purple


the rain falls purple
as it falls upon my head
but by the time it reaches
the tip of my nose
the rain is turning red

the rain drips green
as it drips upon my shoes
but by the time it reaches
the sidewalk
the rain is turning blue

the rain runs orange
as it runs thru my hollow
and by the time it reaches
the creek the rain is
turning yellow

the rains falls purple
the rain drips green
the rain runs orange
turning red,
turning blue,
turning yellow in between
