i feel the rolling thunder
vibrating through the walls
and it soothes me

splashing rain upon the roof
makes me smile...
...contented

the dreariness outside my window
embraces me like an old lover
and i feel at ease with this moment
comforted by the storm
lulled to sleep by dripping water
and wind ruffling trees

and i wake up feeling purified

...if only for a moment.
