Quest
A dreary dusk has settled on my mind
The rain falls softly on my window pane,
As rain comes down upon my lonely heart
With thoughts of him like raindrops' coldest stain.
Why does the heart insist on this behest,
A weight that cannot test my agony
That cannot mend the gap we both endure
That will not give the answer in our need.
And so it goes throughout the gentle night
While I in mourning set aside my rest.
The drone of showers robs me of my peace
For keeping vigil in my tender quest.

Super stanzas - another one for a quatrain or an envoi for a sonnet? Smiles

Thank you, dear SweetO, I'm glad you like the piece. A sonnet I might have made it if it had the required rhyme scheme. It's good to see you stop by. x

Fine and melancholy work, Jade. The weather so often matches our moods. A gentle rain can be a comfort but a drone is disruptive. A torrent arrives as a trauma. I have strong feelings about the rain after having been caught in it so many times in less-than-ideal circumstances. I recognize that we have this lousy drought though, so maybe I'd best keep my mouth shut. "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head...."
