The Relentless Deluge - Songs for the Rain 2007-03-07 12:14:00 THE RELENTLESS DELUGESongs for the Raina poem.The relentless deluge continued through the shadow of the day.There were glimpses of grey clouds stepping before the darkest ones;And spaces lived between the drops, but none large enough for us.These were all proven to be grounds for our false hopeFor soon the sky gave way to the expecting night.Down!

"It's not like they stormed over here with attack helicopters or something," he said.Liec Read more:Accidentally
