the rain drops
hitting my sky light
are just about
as beautiful as
I have ever
seen

I can’t actually see them
but the sound of
them…

it’s peaceful

on this day,
of ups, downs,
and unfortunate
situations
I can use a bit
of calm like
this

even as the thunder
sings its angry
songs to the
night,
there is an island
in the storm
for the
calamity
that is
my
life

tonight,
I lock myself
away
with the darkness
and
the storm,
hoping there’s
a meaning,
or a
reason,
or a purpose
for
once
