shadows of an overcast sky...
slowly moving across our vision
being pushed by some unseen force
bringing us more precipitation
for which we never imagined...
rain... rain... and more rains
pours down on someone's horizon,
we shelter in place for the feat of it all,
casting lots to see who will venture
outside when it is all over...
darkness lurks and lingers in the
corners and crevices of the sky...
thunderstorms pass through the valley
on their way north to die... and we
are left with the remnants, the threads
of damage done on it journey, as it
waves goodbye to all our neighbors;
darkness lurks and lingers in the
valley as the sun sets prematurely
on its way to the other side... the side
where the rain has already died...
we imagine strangers on our backroads
who had stopped to take shelter...
wondering when and if they will ever leave,
we are immune to their negativity but
want them on their way... before the
dawn of the new day and more rain.
