Rain
Late at night, the window pulled down
I drove my father's car
October wind was cool on that country road,
the leaves had fallen, a young hand brushes autumn rain
Bruce Springsteen was on, like a heart alone: I'm on Fire
I sang and thundered some more, a father's son at home

The Hope
If your hand was untied
And I was like you, we'd be lovers, perhaps
Maybe married in the glory of our single days
All in hope are your dancing eyes, like untied hands
Follow us as we slip away

Double whammy. Bruce Springsteen and a lover's vision. Good stuff SC. You covered the bases.

I really like 'Rain', it took me away for a brief time. Also, any mentions of The Boss in poetry have to be applauded.
