Rain At Night Poem by Mehreen Tahir

The silence of the night,
Is broken,
By the sound of rain,
The drops hitting against the roof,
They splash the windows,
And in the eerie silence,
Create a melody,
A rhythm,
The beat of a continuous hymn,
They create the symphony of life.
It slows down,
And picks up again,
Like the strings of a guitar,
Being plucked in a beat,
They give music to the ears,
A sound so beautiful,
So captivating,
It keeps me awake,
But the magic is such,
That the same music grows,
And with the changing tunes,
It lulls me to sleep.
