JUST BEYOND THE RAIN

It’s difficult to know
from one day to the next,
the canvas of the sky
changing so every day,
how things will go,
what direction they’ll take,
today blue skies and sunshine,
tomorrow stormy gray;
and driving rain is on the way,
dark clouds clinging in silence
to my mountains and my mood.

And as the rain begins to fall,
I close my eyes once more
as drop
by drop
by drop
of rain
the gray that has consumed my mood
is slowly washed away,
my heart caressed
by each steady
and rhythmic drop,
a soothing balm
to the jagged edges
that have punctuated
my thoughts on this day.

And as the sun begins to shine,
the rain departing,
the clouds moving away,
I find myself once more
refreshed and renewed,
feeling like myself again
just beyond the rain.
