Northern Comfort
If Southern Comfort
is a whiskey
then what would
Northern Comfort be
I wish I could throw Northern
Comfort over your shoulders
like the sound of a banjo’s
river of pearls
when you would be in need
When you would be in need
I would let you smell
the petrichor of the Northern
rain that soothes and takes away
the strain and let that fall
gently on your cheeks
I won’t tell if I see
that the Northern rain
mixes with your tears
but believe me
it will soothe you
better than beers
I won’t tell you all your worries
will be washed away
they never are
but did you know
that often it rains
hope and new beginnings
Let me and the Northern
rain sing and soothe
so you can sleep
