I'm no stranger to the storm or the waiting, or the fact that the mind isn't always telling the truth. Thank you for the gentle reminder.

And what if the weather breaks,

the rain falling like the tears of a god,

lost in the haze of the lashing sheet,

turning the air to milk.

.

For the shedding of this,

clears the air, turning the sky

turquoise once more,

dark clouds white as snow.

What then, as rivers burble

as they flow toward the sea,

to where they had once come

beneath the hot sun.

Is that worth the world,

and the sounds of traffic,

and the clutching of books,

your thumb in the fold?
