comes the rain…a reading

comes the rain…

how odd it feels 
this dark drear night
as sheets of rain 
and milky fog 
obscure my sight
while puddles swell 
earth waterlogged 
from outer bands 
that sweep the sky
a monster with a single eye, 
a tempest wielding misery 
over a thousand miles, 
its bitter tears from
too warm seas brings
half a nation to its knees
odd, i think, to taste the rain
that's caused such pain
to neighbors i will never meet
terribly connected, we,  
and yet so far,
so very far away

A reading of last night’s poem. Thank you, Peter, for always coaxing me out of my comfort zone. Peace, healing and restoration to all who have tasted Hurricane Ian’s fury…❤️

    Thank you Peter. I read it in the rain under my favorite oak tree to get the full effect 😊

      Oak trees are very good listeners too!
