The cascades of rain fall silently outside my window. The lights are off, music is playing, and it is peaceful. I think back to the time I felt true peace. When my mind was silent and my heart was full. I believe I was a small child, around 5. My grandmother was sewing in the little room at the back of the house. I was coloring and writing stories of the future I wished to behold. I had no further inclinations that she might fall into a deep sleep and never wake up. I believed she was immortal because she never changed. Though she wasn't societies idea of pretty, I found her captivatingly beautiful. Her light blonde hair which I too possessed, was a gift only we shared. Her luminescent blue eyes were the same for me as well. We watched tales of princesses and their matching princes. We performed plays that I wrote. We sang along to Elvis and Sinatra. We shared tales of school and her early life. I wanted to live like that forever. Always together and smiling. Laughing and playing. Loving each day as it was given to us. I will never forget those days blanketed in warm sunshine, especially in the cascades of rain.

CASCADES OF RAIN
