Rain without light
Is still beauty in itself
I stand under the only shelter
Available outside.
Listening to the rain pouring, pouring...
I rush back inside
Turn on the light in front of
My dining room window
That looks apon the backyard.
The pool becomes a blurry mess
Of tiny circles
That seem to vanish within an instant
Only to form new ones...
The rain falling off the roof
In a tiny corner,
Of course it will be a
Greater amount than usual
Like a waterfall, only
Less water.
Like tiny white shards
That seem to move up and down
But somehow in the same place...
The carpet under the only
Shelter outside
Is soaked,
Like marsh...
A wetland.
I tiptoe around the pool,
The blurry ocean,
Only smaller...
My feet are freezing,
Numb.
Walking around the pool once more
To go back to the marshy wetland
That I call "shelter"
From the rain...
I glance up one more time
Before going inside
To see the clouds, moving fast
They glare at me as if to say
"We'll let loose if you
Go over our limit."
Stepping inside
My toasty, warm home
I feel comfort...
Much, much comfort...
