September In The Rain

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember in September in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying amber
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it's still September
That September in the rain

That September that brought the pain
That September in the rain

(A place to offer prayers too)

Our original plan was to ride with the gang to Betong, Thailand. But as I was still nursing my lower back pain, we decided to drive our Ford Ranger instead. It was raining intermittently all the way to Betong and back. In Yala we visited the Ayer Weng Viewpoint and watched the sunrise above the awan nano and later visited the Communist Pyamit Tunnel.

It was a relaxing jalan-jalan cari makan trip with the KKB Bikers gang...
