barefoot
thru the grass
to run within the trees,
then lay my weary head- alas,
upon a hill of steep.
I look unto the clouds
they move mystically
into forms that arouse
my mind to wandering.
the clouds across the way
looming dark and gray,
billows full of moisture
stalking on their prey.
a volition to consume
swallowing the light of day,
but I cherish deep and true
for I know their moody way.
these impending clouds
are taking back their sky,
and once again the rain to fall
as tears from my eyes.
so fresh and very soothing
the rain falls from my face,
for this I give gratitude
to clouds of sullen grace.
We were to meet at the local
cafe, so without umbrella I left home, walking alone within the pouring
rain. My hair was soon to be completely soaked, dripping- straying drops
traversed the wrinkles of my distant analytical brow, occasionally entering
the eye, or captured by a lash, to be softly tossed unto the cheek,
a tear, maybe a drop, both tending to bring warmth.
