Inside Something: A Poem for a Rainy Day

The tea cozy cover of a sunk-in rain.

The vast,

intimidating

sky

shielded by dark clouds.

The low

rumble of thunder.

The wisdom of the rain speaking gently

diligently:

 

“You are inside something.

You are not without love or borders.

All your anxious

wonderings

are contained within this sphere.

Settle yourself.

Learn the lesson of the land and air.

Be here with.”
