sunlight shining through my window
i stop and turn, confused
as i hear the slow onrushing of rain
and though the light is warming the
small oblong patch of kitchen floor through
the slightly parted curtains, there is in fact
rain.
my thoughts have become a day like today.
quietly illuminated by a warm and welcome winter sun,
minding their own business.
and then, unexpectedly, almost impossibly, comes
rain.
we are never quite as far away
or quite as safe from it as we believe.
but i have chosen to embrace this
closeness, this intimacy.
rain only dampens when you let it.
come in, rain. crowd out the sun and pour.
i welcome you.
