We Walked Along Together Poem by Ray Hansell

We walked along together
In the pouring rain
We walked and talked until the sun
Finally came shining through
As we walked all the trees
Glistened from the rain
The rain drops laying on the leaves
Looked like diamonds in the sun
From the summer shower
Steam drifted up from the wet pavement
Like steam in the air of a hot sauna
As we walked under the summer sky
A sky as blue as the ocean
Big puffy white clouds drifted over head
The day has become almost as beautiful as you
Your eyes so soft and your smiling face
The feel of your hand in mine
At this moment I wish that I
Could some how stop the movement of time
