Analysis of Bathe In A Rainy Cloud



Fish in a pond of hope.
The catch is fond surmise.
Bait for a fuller scope. The find is yours to prize.

Mount on a puff of air.
The waft is boost for wing.
Soar at the county fair. The kite is yours to string.

Note items of treasure.
The wealth is kismet reap.
Enjoy all the pleasure. The thrill is yours to keep.

Bathe in a rainy cloud.
The storm is streaming by.
Put on a cover shroud. The sheath is yours to dry.

Taste ardor as a start.
The yearn is passion glow.
Give feeling of a heart. The love is yours to know.

Step outside of the dark.
The moon is shining bright.
Gaze ahead of the stark. The world is yours tonight.
