Alone with the raindrops—
Along a rain-soaked red trail
The soft powder turned rusty—
  While my burdens, they fell
…

I recall the hour— 
it ever so apparent.
Eluding my mind—
until this day in the present.
…

The soft drops of rain fell-
Each drop a reflection of her
A flood they could have been-
While still my memories more
…

Not a snowflake fell
Leaves rustle about
Gentle, cool rains
It was all that came
…

The cold rain on my shoulders
A bizarre evening in store
As I peer in through the curtains
I’m stunned to my core
…

A striking spectacle of nature
It all flows quietly through my soul
Starlings whistle is the distance
Lucky I am to call this place my home
…

As it rains down, I’m taught
For surely it has to happen
There is no other reason
When it all needs to stop
…

Waking up, rainy day, only cloudy skies and soggy ground make it different than others…
Wiping sleep from my eyes, across the room I stumble, as if walking for the first time
…
