" flower in winter
soon to wither
a life in stone
to see it in bloom
whither do we bemoan?
sleep well april showers,
if ever in winter december
the snow's beauty veiled by cold.
do not mind the unmoving white
tip it over, let it fall once more "

the rain is softly descending
from clouded skies with a hinge of grey.
everywhere is quiet;
less the enamoring dampness of the air.
there is nothing else.
emotionally numb,
a predominant state of my mind.
i wished it would rain forever
