It's raining today The sky is gray The light is dim The colors muted... It's raining today Weather matches my mood Emotions expressing themselves in wet saltiness Swollen eyes...
It's raining today Hear the music in my head Hushed calm in the house Turn my eyes outward... Out... Outside the window Outside myself Out where the water refreshes the earth The roses look up The leaves look up All bend under the weight And my heart looks up...
Weight of sorrow Weight of hope Weight of knowledge (or lack thereof) Weight of droplets round and clear
The scene transfixes me Pulling Tugging Drawing me out...
I look closer And closer still The water gathering Gathering in pools, puddles, drops...
Takes me deeper to see The reflections, The light... Hope
What first appeared as gray sadness is now seen in Upside down Dancing Color...
My heart leaps! joy? Hope? Ahhh... peace. The earth rejoices in the rain It knows The heavy wetness Brings growth
It's raining today...And that's good.
I will be content... To let it rain.
(for you, my dearest Mother... with love, Analene)
Analene. I'm so proud of you. That touched my heart. You, Analene, are such a blessing and inspiration. I miss you, even though I have been getting a good amount of time with you. I love you.
When I thought of being a mom, I never dreamed of THIS! ~Five heart melting smiles ~never getting tired of midnight feedings ~having all the answers ~not minding dirty faces ~enjoying watching the boys eat! ~falling in love with pigtails ~appreciating overalls ~appreciating a washing machine! ~wanting to do everything better ~falling in love a million times
