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)

Hmmm. I can identify with those feelings. What a lovely poem.
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.
