I CAUGHT A raindrop IN MY MOUTH

dalia

I caught a raindrop in my mouth
It ran away from the heaven’s embrace
All the way from the edge of the universe
It landed straight on my face

I caught a raindrop in my mouth
Which was no small feat
I caught a raindrop in my mouth
It tasted empty but sweet

Open your eyes
Look at the sky
The heaven doors are open
Your wishes can be stolen
If you just believe
